Let godown A supply x and y quintals of grain to shops D and E.

So, (100xy) will be supplied to shop F.

Since x quintals are transported from godown A, the requirement at shop D is 60 quintals. Hence, the remaining (60 – x) quintals will be transported from godown B.

Similarly, (50 – y) quintals and 40(100xy)=(x+y60) quintals will be transported from godown B to shop E and F.

The given problem can be represented diagrammatically as given below:

x0,y0,and100xy0

Then, x0,y0,andx+y100

60  x  0, 50  y  0, and x + y  60  0

Then, x  60, y  50, and x + y  60

Total transportation cost z is given by,

z = 6x + 3y + 2.5 (100xy) + 4 (60x) + 2 (50y) + 3 (x+y60)

= 6x + 3y + 250  2.5x  2.5y + 240  4x + 100  2y + 3x + 3y  180

= 2.5x + 1.5y + 410

The given problem can be formulated as given below:

Let the airline sell x tickets of executive class and y tickets of economy class, respectively.

The mathematical formulation of the given problem can be written as given below:

Maximisez=1000x+600y (i)

Subject to the constraints,

x+y 200.. (ii)

x20 (iii)

y4x0 (iv)

x, y0 (v)

The feasible region determined by the constraints is given below:

A (20, 80), B (40, 160) and C (20, 180) are the corner points of the feasible region.

The values of z at these corner points are given below:

Corner Point

z = 1000x + 600y

 

A (20, 80)

68000

 

B (40, 160)

136000

Maximum

C (20, 180)

128000

 

136000 at (40, 160) is the maximum value of z.

Therefore, 40 tickets of the executive class and 160 tickets of the economy class should be sold to maximise the profit, and the maximum profit is? 136000.

Let x and y toys of type A and type B be manufactured in a day, respectively.

The given problem can be formulated as given below:

Maximisez=7.5x+5y.. (i)

Subject to the constraints,

2x+y? 60. (ii)

x? 20.. (iii)

2x+3y? 120.. (iv)

x, y? 0. (v)

The feasible region determined by the constraints is given below:

A (20, 0), B (20, 20), C (15, 30) and D (0, 40) are the corner points of the feasible region.

The values of z at these corner points are given below:

Corner Point

z = 7.5x + 5y

 

A (20, 0)

150

 

B (20, 20)

250

 

C (15, 30)

262.5

Maximum

D (0, 40)

200

 

262.5 at (15, 30) is the maximum value of z.

Hence, the manufacturer should manufacture 15 toys of type A and 30 toys of type B to maximise the profit.

Let the mixture contain x kg of food X and y kg of food Y, respectively.

The mathematical formulation of the given problem can be written as given below:

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (10, 0), B (2, 4), C (1, 5) and D (0, 8) are the corner points of the feasible region.

The values of z at these corner points are given below:

Corner Point

B (2, 4)

Minimum

C (1, 5)

116

 

D (0, 8)

Since the feasible region is unbounded, 112 may or may not be the minimum value of z.

For this purpose, we draw a graph of the inequality, 16x+20y<112or4x+5y<28 , and check whether the resulting half-plane has points in common with the feasible region or not

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (18, 0), B (9, 2), C (3, 6) and D (0, 12) are the corner points of the feasible region.

Let the diet contain x and y packets of foods P and Q, respectively. Hence,

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0

The mathematical formulation of the given problem is given below:

Maximisez=6x+3y.. (i)

Subject to the constraints,

4x+y80. (ii)

x+5y115. (iii)

3x+2y150 (iv)

x, y0 (v)

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (15, 20), B (40, 15) and C (2, 72) are the corner points of the feasible region

The values of z at these corner points are as given below:

Corner Point

z = 6x + 3y

 

A (15, 20)

150

 

B (40, 15)

285

Maximum

C (2, 72)

228

 

So, the maximum value of z is 285 at (40, 15).

Hence, to maximise the amount of vitamin A in the diet, 40 packets of food P and 15 packets of food Q should be used.

The maximum amount of vitamin A in the diet is 285 units.

The maximum value of Z is unique.

It is given that the maximum value of Z occurs at two points, (3, 4) and (0, 5).

∴ Value of Z at (3, 4) = Value of Z at (0, 5)

 p (3) + q (4) = p (0) + q (5)

3p + 4q = 5q

 q = 3p

Hence, the correct answer is D.

Hence option (D) is correct.

The feasible region determined by the constraints is as follows.

It can be seen that the feasible region is unbounded.

The corner points of the feasible region are  A(83,0),B(2,12),C(0,112) .

The corner points are A(803,0),B(24,43),C(0,1003) .

Let the merchant stock x desktop models and y portable models. Therefore,

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0

The cost of a desktop model is Rs 25000 and of a portable model is Rs 4000. However, the merchant can invest a maximum of Rs 70 lakhs.

25000x + 40000y  7000000

The profit on a desktop model is Rs 4500 and the profit on a portable model is Rs 5000.

Total profit, Z=4500x +5000y

Thus, the mathematical formulation of the given problem is

Maximum Z=4500x+5000y             .....(1)
