. Refer to Example 9. How many packets of each food should be used to maximize the amount of vitamin A in the diet? What is the maximum amount of vitamin A in the diet?

Ans. Let  and  be the number of packets of food P and Q respectively,  –

We have to maximize Z =  (vitamin A) subject to the constraints  (constraints on Calcium), i.e.,       ……….(i)

And  (constraints on Iron), i.e.,    ……….(ii)

Also  (constraints on Cholesterol), i.e.,   ……….(iii)

   ……….(iv)

Consider

Let 

  

	A	B	C
	0	10	20
	80	40	0

Here, (0, 0) does not satisfy this inequation, therefore the required half plane does not include the point (0, 0)

Again consider

Let

 

	D	E	F
	115	65	0
	0	10	23

Here, also (0, 0) does not satisfy this inequation, therefore the required half plane does not include the point (0, 0)

Again consider

Let    

Therefore, G (50, 0) and H (0, 75) satisfy the equation.

As (0, 0) satisfies the inequation , therefore the required half plane contains (0, 0)

The shaded region is the feasible solution and its corners are P (15, 20), Q (40, 15) and R (2, 72).

Now    Z =

At P(15, 20)  Z = 6 x 15 + 3 x 20 = 90 + 60 = 150

At Q (40, 15)  Z = 6 x 40 + 3 x 15 = 240 + 45 = 285

At R (2, 72)  Z = 6 x 2 + 3 x 72 = 12 + 216 = 228

Hence, maximum Z = 285 units of vitamin A at

Consider

Let 

  

 

Now the points are A (6, 0) and B (0, 12).

Now clearly (0, 0) does not lie in the required half plane as (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation .

Again consider

Let

 

 

Now point C (18, 0) and D (0, 4) lie on the line.

Now again (0, 0) does not lie in the required half plane as (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation .

Again consider

Let     

Here, the points E (12, 0) and F (0, 8) lie on the line.

Again also (0, 0) does not lie on the half plane as (0, 0) does not satisfy this inequation.

The feasible region of XCPQEY and the co-ordinates of corners are C (18, 0), P (9, 2), Q (3, 6) and E (0, 12).

Now     Z =

At C (18, 0)   Z = 250 x 18 + 200 x 0 = 4500

At P (9, 2)   Z = 250 x 9 + 200 x 2 = 2450

At Q (3, 6)   Z = 250 x 3 + 200 x 6 = 1950

At E (0, 12)   Z = 250 x 0 + 200 x 12 = 2400

 

Here, minimum cost Z = Rs. 1950 when

Hence, number of bags of brand P = 3 and number of bags of brand Q = 6 and minimum cost of the mixture per bag = Rs.  = Rs. 216.67 per bag.

3. A dietician wishes to mix together two kinds of food X and Y in such a way that the mixture contains at least 10 units of vitamin A, 12 units of vitamin B and 8 units of vitamin C. The vitamin contents of one kg food is given below:

Food	Vitamin A	Vitamin B	Vitamin C
X	1	2	3
Y	2	2	1

One kg of food X costs Rs. 16 and one kg of food Y costs Rs. 20. Find the least cost of the mixture which will produce the required diet?

Ans. Let in the mixture food X weighs =  kg and in the mixture food Y weighs =  kg

We have to minimize Z =  subject to constraints, , , ,

Consider

Let

  

 Points A (10, 0) and B (0, 5) lies on the line.

Here, (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation , therefore the required half plane does not include (0, 0).

Again consider

Let

 

 

 Points C (6, 0) and D (0, 6) lies on the line.

Again consider

Let     

Again in the inequation (0, 0) is not included in the required half plane.

The shaded region is our feasible solution A (10, 0), P (2, 4), Q (1, 5), E (0, 8).

	E	F	G
	0	100	200
	140	80	20

The corners of the feasible region are A (10, 0), P (2, 4), Q (1, 5), E (0, 8).

Now Z =

At A (10, 0)   Z = 16 x 10 + 20 x 0 = 160

At P (2, 4)   Z = 16 x 2 + 20 x 4 = 112

At Q (1, 5)   Z = 16 x 1 + 20 x 5 = 116

At E (0, 8)   Z = 16 x 0 + 20 x 8 = 160

Therefore minimum Z = Rs. 112 at

Hence, minimum cost of the mixture = Rs. 112 when he mixes 2 kg of food X and 4 kg of food Y.

4. A manufacturer makes two types of toys A and B. Three machines are needed for this purpose and the time (in minutes) requires for each toy on the machines is given below:

Types of Toys	Machines
	I	II	III
A	12	18	6
B	6	0	9

Each machine is available for a maximum of 6 hours per day. If the profit on each type of type A is Rs. 7.50 and that on each toy of type B is Rs. 5, shows that 15 toys of type A and 30 of type B should be manufactures in a day to get maximum profit.

Ans. Let  units of toys A and  units of toys B are produced by the manufacturer. Time spent on machine I to produce  units of toys A and  units of toys B =  minutes.

Since each machine is available for a maximum of 6 x 60 = 360 minutes.

Therefore, we have    

 and

now, the profit Z earned by the manufacturer to produce  units of type A and  units of type B is

we have to maximize Z =  i.e., 4Z =  subject to constraints , ,  and  

Consider

Let

  

 Points A (30, 0) and B (0, 60) lies on the line. Also (0, 0) lies in the required half plane.

Again consider

Let

It represent the half plane to the left of .

Again consider

Let    

 Points C (60, 0) and D (0, 40) lies on the line. Therefore, (0, 0) lies in the required half plane.

The shaded portion is our feasible region. Its corners are O (0, 0), P (20, 0), Q (20, 20), R (15, 30), D (0, 40).

Now     Z =

At O (0, 0)   Z = 7.5 x 0 + 5 x 0 = 0

At P (20, 0)   Z = 7.5 x 00 + 5 x 0 = 150

At Q (20, 20)   Z = 7.5 x 20 + 5 x 20 = 250

At R (15, 30)   Z = 7.5 x 15 + 5 x 30 = 262.50

At D (0, 40)   Z = 7.5 x 0 + 5 x 40 = 200

Now maximum profit = Z = Rs. 262.50, when he manufacturers 15 toys of types A and 30 of type B in a day.

Consider

Let 

  

 Points A (200, 0) and B(0, 200) are on the line and therefore (0, 0) is included in the required half plane.

Again consider

Let

It is the line parallel to axis at a positive distance 20 and the half plane lies towards right of it.

Again consider

Let

	O	C	D
	0	20	40
	0	80	160

Here, (40, 0) does not satisfy , therefore plane does not include (40, 0).

The shaded portion is the feasible region. Its corners are C (20, 80), D (40, 160) and P (20, 180)

Now    Z =

At C (20, 80) Z = 1000 x 20 + 600 x 80 = 20000 + 48000 = 68,000

At D (40, 60) Z = 1000 x 40 + 600 x 60 = 40000 + 96000 = 1,36,000

At P (20, 180) Z = 1000 x 20 + 600 x 180 = 20000 + 108000 = 1,28,000

Hence Maximum profit Z = Rs. 1,36,000 at
