Answer»
Let the number of units of nuts x & bolts be y it takes 1 hour on machine A for a nut and 3 hours on machine 13 for a nut maximum time available for machine A is 12 hours. ∴ x + 3y ≤ 12 3x + y ≤ 12 Negative units cannot be produced: x, y ≥ 0 our objective is to maximum profit the LPP is Maximize = 2.5 x + y subject to x + 3y ≤ 12 3x + y ≤ 12 and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 |
