A company makes 3 model of calculators, A, B and C at factory I and factory II. The company has orders for atleast 6400 calculators of model A, 4000 calculators of model 8 and 4800 calculators of model C. Atfactory I, 50 calculators of model A, 50 of model 8 and 30 of model C are made everyday, at factory II, 40 calculators of model A, 20 of model B and 40 of model C are made everyday. It costs ? 12000 and 1 15000 each day to operate factory I and II, respectively. Find the number of days each factory should operate to minimise the operating costs and still meet the demand. |

Answer» `50x+40 ge 6400 Rightarrow 5x +4Y ge 640 ,.....(i)` Also, at factory l, 50 calculators of model 8 and at factory II, 20 calculators of modal 8 are made everyday Since, the company has ordered atleast 4000 calculators of model B `therefore 50x+20y ge 4000 Rightarrow 5x+2y ge 4000...(ii)` Similarly for model C, 30x+40y ge 4800 `Rightarrow 3x+4y ge 480 ...(iii)` Also,`x ge 0, y ge 0 ...(iv)["Since x and y are non negative"]` If costs 12000 and 15000 each day to operate factories I and II respectively. Corresponding LPP is Minimise Z=12000x+15000y, "subject to" `5x+6y ge 640` `5x+2y ge 480` `3x+4y ge 480` `x ge 0, y ge 0` on solving 3x+4y=480 and 5x+4y=640, we get x=80, y=60 On solving 5x+4y=640, we get x =32, y=120 Thus from the GRAPH it is clear that feasible region is unbounded and the coordinates of corner points A,B,C and D are (160,0),(80,60),(32,120) and (0,200) respectively From the above table, it is clear that for given unbouded region the minimum valur of Z may or may not be 1860000. Now for deciding this, we graph, the inequality 12000x+15000y lt 1860000 `4x+5y lt 620` and check whether THERESULTING open half plane has points in common with feasible region or not. Thus, as shown in the figure it has no common points so, Z=12000x+15000y has minimum value 1860000. Som number of day factory I should be operated is 80 and number of days factory II should be operated is 60 for the minimum cost and SATISFYING the given constraints. |
