A chemist has a compound to be made using 3 basic elements X, Y, Z so that it has at least 10 litres of X, 12 litres of Y and 20 litres of Z. He makes this compound by mixing two compounds (I) and (II). Each unit compound (I) had 4 litres of X, 3 litres of Y. Each unit compound (II) had 1 litre of X, 2 litres of Y and 4 litres of Z. The unit costs of compounds (I) and (II) are ₹ 400 and ₹ 600 respectively. Find the number of units of each compound to be produced so as to minimize the cost

उत्तर
Let the chemist produce x units of compound I and y units of compound II.
Since x and y cannot be negative, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
The unit costs of compounds I and II are ₹ 400 and ₹ 600 respectively.
Total Cost = Z = 400x + 600y
We construct a table with constraints of X, Y and Z as follows:
| Compound I | Compound II | Least value | |
| X | 4 | 1 | 10 |
| Y | 3 | 2 | 12 |
| Z | – | 4 | 20 |
From the table, the constraints are
4x + y ≥ 10
3x + 2y ≥ 12
4y ≥ 20
∴ Given problem can be formulated as follows:
Minimize Z = 400x + 600y
Subject to 4x + y ≥ 10
3x + 2y ≥ 12
4y ≥ 20, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
To draw the feasible region, construct table as follows:
| Inequality | 4x + y ≥ 10 | 3x + 2y ≥ 12 | 4y ≥ 20 |
| Corresponding equation (of line) | 4x + y = 10 | 3x + 2y = 12 | 4y = 20 |
| Intersection of line with X-axis | `(5/2, 0)` | (4, 0) | – |
| Intersection of line with Y-axis | (0, 10) | (0, 6) | (0, 5) |
| Region | Non-Origin side | Non-Origin side | Non-Origin side |
Shaded portion EABY is the feasible region, whose vertices are A and B(0, 10).
A is the point of intersection of the lines 4y = 20 and 4x + y = 10,
Solving the above equations, we get
x = `5/4`, y = 5
∴ A ≡ `(5/4, 5)`

Here, the objective function is
Z = 400x + 600y
∴ Z at A`(5/4, 5) = 400(5/4) + 600(5)`
= 500 + 3000
= 3500
Z at B (0, 10) = 400(0) + 600(10)
= 6000
∴ Z has minimum value 3500 at x = `5/4` and y = 5.
∴ The chemist should produce `5/4` units of compound I and 5 units of compound II to minimize the cost.

The postmaster of a local post office wishes to hire extra helpers during the Deepawali season, because of a large increase in the volume of mail handling and delivery. Because of the limited office space and the budgetary conditions, the number of temporary helpers must not exceed 10. According to past experience, a man can handle 300 letters and 80 packages per day, on the average, and a woman can handle 400 letters and 50 packets per day. The postmaster believes that the daily volume of extra mail and packages will be no less than 3400 and 680 respectively. A man receives Rs 225 a day and a woman receives Rs 200 a day. How many men and women helpers should be hired to keep the pay-roll at a minimum ? Formulate an LPP and solve it graphically.
