A diet is to contain at leat 80 units of vitamin A and 100 units of minerals. Two foods F_(1) and F_(2) are available. Food F_(1) cost Rs. 4 per unit and F_(2)costs Rs. 6 per unit. One unit of food F_(1) contains 3 uinits of vitamin A and 4 units of minerals. One unit of food F_(2) contains 6 units of minerals. One unit of food F_(2) contains 6 units of vitamin A and 3 units of minerals. Formulate this as a linear programming problem. Find the minimum cost for diet that consists of mixture of these two foods and also meets the minimal nutritional requirements. |
Answer» Solution :Let `x` units of `F_(1)` and `y` units of `F_(2)` be in the food. Then, Maximise `Z=4x+6y`…………….1 Constraints `3x+6yge80` ………………….2 `4x+3yge100`……………….3 `xge0,yge0`…………………..4 First, draw the graph of the line `3x+6y=80`,. Put `(0,0)` in the inequation `3x+6yge80`, `3xx0+6xx0ge80implies0ge80` (FALSE) Thus, the half plane does not contain the ORIGIN. Since `x,yge0` so the feasible solution is in the first QUADRANT. Now, draw the graph of the line `4x+3y=100` Put `(0,0)` in the inequation `4x+3yge100`, `4xx0+3xx0ge100` `implies0ge100` (False) Thus, the half plane does not contain the origin. From equations `3x+6y=80` and `4x+3y=100`. The POINT of intersection is `B(24, 4/3)` CLEARLY, the feasible region is unbounded. The vertices the feasible region are `A(80/3,0), B(24,4/3)` and `C(0,100/3)`. We find the value of `Z` at these vertices. Since the feasible region is unbounded, so the minimum value of `z` may or may not be 104. For this we draw the graph of inequations `4x+6t lt 104` or `2x+3ylt52`. There is no common point here, so the minimum cost of mixture is Rs. 104. |

This passage is adapted from a 2018 article summarizing two different proposals for solving problems with maintaining New York City's mass transit system. The history of the New York City subsaw system, quickly told: the first stations opened in 1904, and over the next century, it expended to 472 stations, more than any other subway system in the world, with 850 miles of track. Operating 24 hours a day seven days a week, with an average weekday ridership of approximately 5.7 million, it is the plant's 7th-busiest rapid transit system. While the system is, on many levels, an amazing chievement, it is also beset by a problem that harms both quality of life and economic activity. Such a large system must inevitably suffer from service interruptions and delays, normal wear and tear combined with the sheer age of the system necessitates regular maintanance. However, there is no consensus as to the best way to accomplish the required repairs. The current maintanance scheme is designed to minimize service interruptions. A subway line in need of repair will be taken out of sevice during a comaratively less busy time, such as nights or weekends, while another line is re-routed to cover as many as possible of the missing line's stops. The main advantage to this approach is that trains are not taken out of service during rush hour, when most subway trips occur, subway service generally remains predictable and commuters are, for the most part, able to use the system to get to their desinations on time. But critics are quick to point out the disadvantages to this approach. Perhaps most obvious is the confusion caused by trains swithing lines. The labyrinthine system is hard enough to navigate at the best of times. especially for tourists A subway rider on the A terain naturally expects the train to make stops on teh A line. If instead, it is diverted temporatily to the F line, the rader may find herself miles from her intended destination. While annoying, the confusion arising from route switching is hardly the most serious problem with the current approach to repairs. Because the system runs 24 hours a day, routine maintenance can generally be done only during the temporary closures on nights and weekends. This means that more serious repair and crucial preventative maintenance is often neglected. Problems that could have been fixed or prevented reasonably expeditiously given a slightly longer closure wind up leading to major breakdowns and service interruptions later on. On rare occasions, such breakdowns have resulted in entire subway lines being shut down for months or even a year. Beginning in 2019, for example the I. Train connecting lower Manhattan to parts of Brooklyn was scheduled to close for as much as 15 months for long overdue service and upgrades. In a city fewar than half of whose households own a car, this can have serious economic impacts Residents of the affected area may face a much longer commute via an alternate subway line if one is available, or, if there is no alternate subway service, they may need to take other, potentially more exppensive, modes of transportation, such as taxis or ferries. Morover, studies indicate that increased stress from the commute to work can lead to lower productivity, and that businesses near the impacted lines may see decreased revenue as potential customers have a harder time getting to them. One controversial proposal for reducing breakdowns and the resulting transit interruptions is to end the subway's 24-hour service and to shut down for several hours each night. Proponents of this plan argue that this would allow time, on a regular rather than sporadic basis, for more preventative maintanacnce. This, they claim, would ultimately lead to more consistent service, rrather than shutting down entire lines for long periods of a time, there would merely be shorter service outages overnight, when fewer people use the subway system. While this may seem a preferable outcome to the economic consequence of a total shutdown resulting from a breakdown, it has its liabilities as well. While most subway trips may occur during rush hour, not everyone works during the daytime. New yourk is famously known as the "the city that never sleeps." Doctors, nurses, bartenders, police officers, and firefighters are just a few examples of occupations whose workers need transportion at all hours of the day and night. Rather than be subjected to a relatively short period of inconvenience, these workers would find their commutes irrevocably altered. One thing, at least, is clear the city must carefully condider many economic and social factors in designing a subway maintenance plan. In the third paragraph, the siscussion of two specific subway lines (lines 44-49) primarily serves to |

This passage is adapted from a 2018 article summarizing two different proposals for solving problems with maintaining New York City's mass transit system. The history of the New York City subsaw system, quickly told: the first stations opened in 1904, and over the next century, it expended to 472 stations, more than any other subway system in the world, with 850 miles of track. Operating 24 hours a day seven days a week, with an average weekday ridership of approximately 5.7 million, it is the plant's 7th-busiest rapid transit system. While the system is, on many levels, an amazing chievement, it is also beset by a problem that harms both quality of life and economic activity. Such a large system must inevitably suffer from service interruptions and delays, normal wear and tear combined with the sheer age of the system necessitates regular maintanance. However, there is no consensus as to the best way to accomplish the required repairs. The current maintanance scheme is designed to minimize service interruptions. A subway line in need of repair will be taken out of sevice during a comaratively less busy time, such as nights or weekends, while another line is re-routed to cover as many as possible of the missing line's stops. The main advantage to this approach is that trains are not taken out of service during rush hour, when most subway trips occur, subway service generally remains predictable and commuters are, for the most part, able to use the system to get to their desinations on time. But critics are quick to point out the disadvantages to this approach. Perhaps most obvious is the confusion caused by trains swithing lines. The labyrinthine system is hard enough to navigate at the best of times. especially for tourists A subway rider on the A terain naturally expects the train to make stops on teh A line. If instead, it is diverted temporatily to the F line, the rader may find herself miles from her intended destination. While annoying, the confusion arising from route switching is hardly the most serious problem with the current approach to repairs. Because the system runs 24 hours a day, routine maintenance can generally be done only during the temporary closures on nights and weekends. This means that more serious repair and crucial preventative maintenance is often neglected. Problems that could have been fixed or prevented reasonably expeditiously given a slightly longer closure wind up leading to major breakdowns and service interruptions later on. On rare occasions, such breakdowns have resulted in entire subway lines being shut down for months or even a year. Beginning in 2019, for example the I. Train connecting lower Manhattan to parts of Brooklyn was scheduled to close for as much as 15 months for long overdue service and upgrades. In a city fewar than half of whose households own a car, this can have serious economic impacts Residents of the affected area may face a much longer commute via an alternate subway line if one is available, or, if there is no alternate subway service, they may need to take other, potentially more exppensive, modes of transportation, such as taxis or ferries. Morover, studies indicate that increased stress from the commute to work can lead to lower productivity, and that businesses near the impacted lines may see decreased revenue as potential customers have a harder time getting to them. One controversial proposal for reducing breakdowns and the resulting transit interruptions is to end the subway's 24-hour service and to shut down for several hours each night. Proponents of this plan argue that this would allow time, on a regular rather than sporadic basis, for more preventative maintanacnce. This, they claim, would ultimately lead to more consistent service, rrather than shutting down entire lines for long periods of a time, there would merely be shorter service outages overnight, when fewer people use the subway system. While this may seem a preferable outcome to the economic consequence of a total shutdown resulting from a breakdown, it has its liabilities as well. While most subway trips may occur during rush hour, not everyone works during the daytime. New yourk is famously known as the "the city that never sleeps." Doctors, nurses, bartenders, police officers, and firefighters are just a few examples of occupations whose workers need transportion at all hours of the day and night. Rather than be subjected to a relatively short period of inconvenience, these workers would find their commutes irrevocably altered. One thing, at least, is clear the city must carefully condider many economic and social factors in designing a subway maintenance plan. Which of the following best expresses the primary purpose of the passage ? |
