In a cattle breading firm, it is prescribed that the food ration for one animal must contain 14, 22 and 1 units of nutrients A, B and C respectively. Two different kinds of fodder are available. Each unit of these two contains the following amounts of these three nutrients :Nutrient ↓ Fodder →Fodder 1Fodder 2Nutrient A21Nutrient B23Nutrient C11The cost of fodder 1 is Rs 3 per unit and that of fodder Rs 2, Formulate the L.P.P. to minimize the cost.

Answer»

Let x units of fodder 1 and y units of fodder 2 be prescribed.

The cost of fodder 1 is Rs 3 per unit and cost of fodder 2 is Rs 2 per unit.

∴ total cost is z = 3x + 2y

This is the linear function which is to be minimized. Hence it is the objective function. 

The constraints are as per the following table :

Nutrient FodderFodder 1Fodder 2Minimum requirements
Nutrient A2114
Nutrient B2322
Nutrient C111

From table fodder contains (2x + y) units of nutrients A, (2x + 3y) units of nutrients B and (x + y) units of nutrients C. The minimum requirements of these nutrients are 14 units, 22 units and 1 unit respectively.

Therefore, the constraints are

2x + y ≥ 14, 2x + 3y ≥ 22, x + y ≥ 1 

Since, number of units (i.e. x and y) cannot be negative, we have, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0. 

Hence, the given LPP can be formulated as Minimize z = 3x + 2y, subject to 2x + y ≥ 14, 2x + 3y ≥ 22, x + y ≥ 1, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.

A firm manufactures two products, each of which must be processed through two departments, 1 and 2. The hourly requirements per unit for each product in each department, the weekly capacities in each department, selling price per unit, labour cost per unit, and raw material cost per unit are summarized as follows :Product AProduct BWeekly capacityDepartment 132130Department 246260Selling price per unitRs. 25Rs. 30Labour cost per unitRs. 16Rs. 20Raw material cost per unitRs. 4Rs. 4The problem is to determine the number of units to produce each product so as to maximize total contribution to profit. Formulate this as a LPP.

Answer»

We have to maximize the profit by calculating the number of units needed to produce each product.

For Product A,

Cost Price per unit = Labour Cost + Raw material cost per unit

Cost Price per unit = 16 + 4 = Rs. 20

Selling Price per unit = Rs. 25

Profit per unit = S.P – C.P = 25 – 20 = Rs. 5

For Product B,

Cost Price per unit = Labour Cost + Raw material cost per unit

Cost Price per unit = 20 + 4 = Rs. 24

Selling Price per unit = Rs. 30

Profit per unit = S.P – C.P = 30 – 24 = Rs. 6

Let number of units produced of Product A be x and number of units produced of Product B be y.

Hence, Total Profit = 5 x + 6 y

To Maximize : z = 5 x + 6 y

For Department 1,

3 x + 2 y ≤ 130

For Department 2,

4 x + 6 y ≤ 260

Hence,

Z = 5 x + 6 y

3 x + 2 y ≤ 130

4 x + 6 y ≤ 260

x, y ≥ 0 [Since production cannot be less than zero]

The corner points of the feasible region determined by the following system of linear inequalities: 2x+y≤10,x+3y≤15,xy≥ 0 are (0,0) (5,0), (3,4) and (0,5)Let Z = px + qy, where p, q > 0.Condition on p and q so that the maximum of Z occurs at both (3, 4) and (0, 5) is(A) p = q      (B) p = 2q      (C) p = 3q      (D) q = 3p

Answer»

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.

Answer»

Answer is (D)

At (0, 0) Z = 0 

At (5, 0) Z = 5p 

At (3, 4) Z = 3p +4q 

At (0, 5) Z = 5q 

∴ maximum of Z 

3p + 4q = 5q 

∴ 3p = q

21.

Objective function of a LPP isA. a constraintB. a function to be optimizedC. a relation between the variablesD. none of these

Answer»

Correct answer is B.

Given,

To define the objective of a Linear programming Problem.

As per the definition of the Linear Programming Problem,

A Linear programming problem is a linear function (also known an objective function) subjected to certain constraints for which we need to find an optimal solution (i.e. either a maximum/minimum value) depending on the requirement of the problem.

From the above definition, we can clearly say that, Linear programming problem’s objective is to either maximize/ minimize a given objective function, which means to optimize a function to get an optimum solution.

22.

Which of the following statements is correct?A. Every LPP admits an optimal solutionB. A LPP admits unique optimal solutionC. If a LPP admits two optimal solutions it has an infinite number of optimal solutionsD. The set of all feasible solutions of a LPP is not a converse set convex set

Answer»

Correct answer is C.

Given,

The statements:

• Every LPP admits an optimal solution

This need not be true as all LPPs need not have optimal solutions and such LPPs are called unbound.

• A LPP admits unique optimal solution

Every LLP need not have unique optimal solutions as if there are two optimal solutions to an LLP there will be infinite number or optimal solutions to the LLP problem.

• If a LPP admits two optimal solutions it has an infinite number of optimal solutions

As mentioned in the above point, if there are two optimal solutions to an LLP there will be infinite number or optimal solutions to the LLP problem.

• The set of all feasible solutions of a LPP is not a convex set.

As per a theorem of Convex Sets,

If {X1, X2} ∈ C (a convex set of optimal solutions), then

X = λX1 + (1 − λ) X2 where 0 ≤ λ ≤ 1, is also contained in C (the optimal solution set). This makes all the feasible solutions of a LPP also a convex set.

23.

If the constraints in a linear programming problem are changedA. The problem is to be re-evaluatedB. Solution is not definedC. The objective function has to be modifiedD. The change in constraints is ignored

Answer»

Correct answer is A.

Given,

The constraints of a linear programming problem are changed.

Now, as per the definition of the Linear Programming Problem,

A Linear programming problem is a linear function (also known an objective function) subjected to certain constraints for which we need to find an optimal solution (i.e. either a maximum/minimum value) depending on the requirement of the problem.

Here, the LPP is solved using the constraints, so, if the constraints are changed, the problem is to has to be re-calculated with the new constraints provided.

24.

The value of objective function is maximum under linear constraintsA. at the centre of feasible regionB. at (0, 0)C. at any vertex of feasible regionD. the vertex which is maximum distance from (0, 0)

Answer»

Correct answer is C.

Given that,

The objective function will be maximum at ______

As per the steps while solving a Linear Programming Problem, we first determine the feasible region using the constraints and then, consider the vertices of the obtained convex polygon in the objective function to see the vertex at which the objective function obtains a maximum value. Then that vertex is determines the maximum value of the objective function.

Hence, the maximum value of an objective function under linear constraints is at any vertex of the feasible region.

25.

The value of objective function is maximum under linear constraints _______.(A) at the centre of feasible region (B) at (0, 0) (C) at a vertex of feasible region (D) the vertex which is of maximum distance from (0, 0)

A company manufactures two types of sweaters: type A and type B. It costs Rs 360 to make a type A sweater and Rs 120 to make a type B sweater. The company can make at most 300 sweaters and spend at most Rs 72000 a day. The number of sweaters of type B cannot exceed the number of sweaters of type A by more than 100. The company makes a profit of Rs 200 for each sweater of type A and Rs 120 for every sweater of type B.Formulate this problem as a LPP to maximize the profit to the company.

Answer»

Let’s assume x and y to be the number of sweaters of type A and type B respectively.

From the question, the following constraints are:

360x + 120y ≤ 72000 ⇒ 3x + y ≤ 600 … (i)

x + y ≤ 300 … (ii)

x + 100 ≥ y ⇒ y ≤ x + 100 … (iii)

Profit: Z = 200x + 120y

Therefore, the required LPP to maximize the profit is

Maximize Z = 200x + 120y subject to constrains

3x + y ≤ 600, x + y ≤ 300, y ≤ x + 100, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.

A company manufactures two types of sweaters : type A and type B. It costs Rs 360 to make a type A sweater and Rs 120 to make a type B sweater. The company can make at most 300 sweaters and spend at most Rs 72000 a day. The number of sweaters of type B cannot exceed the number of sweaters of type A by more than 100. The company makes a profit of Rs 200 for each sweater of type A and Rs 120 for every sweater of type B.Formulate this problem as a LPP to maximise the profit to the company.

Answer»

Let the company manufactures x number of type A sweaters and y number of type B.

The company spend at most Rs 72000 a day.

∴ 360x + 120y ≤ 72000

=> 3x+y≤ 600 …(i)

Also, company can make at most 300 sweaters.

∴ x+y≤ 300 …(ii)

Also, the number of sweaters of type B cannot exceed the number of sweaters of type A by more than 100 i.e., y-x≤ 100

The company makes a profit of Rs 200 for each sweater of type A and Rs 120 for every sweater of type B

So, the objective function for maximum profit is Z = 200x + 120y subject to constraints. 3x+y≤ 600

x+y ≤ 300

x-y ≥ -100

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Answer»

Let the number of large vans and small vans be x and y respectively.

here transportation cost Z be objective be function,

Z = 400x + 200y which is to be minimized under constraints

200 x + 80y ≥ 1200 ⇒ 5x + 2y ≥ 30

400 x + 200y ≤ 3000 ⇒ 2x + y ≤ 15

x ≤ y, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

The feasible solution for a LPP is shown in Fig. Let Z = 3x – 4y be the objective function. Maximum of Z occurs atA. (5, 0)B. (6, 5)C. (6, 8)D. (4, 10)

Answer»

Value of Z = 3x – 4y, at corner points are –

At (0, 0) = 0

At (0, 8) = -32

At (4, 10) = -28

At (6, 8) = -14

At (6, 5) = -2

At (5, 0) = 15

So, clearly maximum value is at (5, 0)

Ans is A ( 5 , 0 )

The feasible solution for a LPP is shown in Fig. Let Z = 3x – 4y be the objective function. (Maximum value of Z + Minimum value of Z) is equal toA. 13B. 1C. – 13D. – 17

Answer»

Value of Z = 3x – 4y, at corner points are –

At (0, 0) = 0

At (0, 8) = -32

At (4, 10) = -28

At (6, 8) = -14

At (6, 5) = -2

At (5, 0) = 15

So, clearly maximum value is at (5, 0)

Maximum value = 15,

Minimum value = -32

So, maximum + minimum = 15 -32

= -17
