प्रश्न

A manufacturer of patent medicines is preparing a production plan on medicines, A and B. There are sufficient raw materials available to make 20000 bottles of A and 40000 bottles of B, but there are only 45000 bottles into which either of the medicines can be put. Further, it takes 3 hours to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of A, it takes 1 hour to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of B and there are 66 hours available for this operation. The profit is Rs 8 per bottle for A and Rs 7 per bottle for B. How should the manufacturer schedule his production in order to maximize his profit?

उत्तर

Let x bottles of medicine A and y bottles of medicine are prepared.
Number of bottles cannot be negative.
Therefore,

\[x, y \geq 0\] According to question, the constraints are

\[x \leq 20000\]
\[y \leq 40000\]
\[x + y \leq 45000\]  

It takes 3 hours to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of A, it takes 1 hour to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of B
Time taken to fill one bottle of A is \[\frac{3}{1000}\] hrs and time taken by to fill one bottle of B is \[\frac{1}{1000}\] hrs . Therefore, time taken to fill x bottles of A and bottles of B is \[\frac{3x}{1000}\] hrs and \[\frac{y}{1000}\]hrs respectively.
It is given that there are 66 hours available for this operation.
\[\therefore \frac{3x}{1000} + \frac{y}{1000} \leq 66\]
The profit is Rs 8 per bottle for A and Rs 7 per bottle for B.   Therefore, profit gained on xbottles of medicine A and y bottles of medicine  is 8x and 7y respectively.
Total profit = Z = \[8x + 7y\]  which is to be maximised.
Thus, the mathematical formulat​ion of the given linear programmimg problem is 
Max Z =  \[8x + 7y\]
subject to
\[x \leq 20000\]
\[y \leq 40000\]
\[x + y \leq 45000\]

\[\frac{3x}{1000} + \frac{y}{1000} \leq 66 \Rightarrow 3x + y \leq 66000\]
\[x, y \geq 0\]
First we will convert inequations into equations as follows:
x =20000, y = 40000, + y = 45000, 3x + = 66000, x = 0 and y = 0

Region represented by x  ≤ 20000:
The line x  = 20000 is the line that passes through A1(20000, 0) and is parallel to Y axis.The region to the left of the line x  = 20000 will satisfy the inequation x  ≤ 20000.

Region represented by  ≤ 40000:
The line y = 40000 is the line that passes through B1(0, 40000) and is parallel to X axis.The region below the line y  = 40000 will satisfy the inequation  ≤ 40000.

Region represented by x y ≤ 45000:
The line x + y = 45000 meets the coordinate axes at C1(45000, 0) and D1(0, 45000) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line x + y = 45000. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation x y ≤ 45000. So,the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation x y ≤ 45000.

Region represented by 3x y ≤ 66000:
The line 3x + y = 66000 meets the coordinate axes at E1(22000, 0) and \[F_1 \left( 0, 66000 \right)\] respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 3x + y = 66000. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation 3x y ≤ 66000. So,the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 3x y ≤ 66000.

Region represented by ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:
Since, every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations. So, the first quadrant is the region represented by the inequations x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0.

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints x  ≤ 20000,  ≤ 40000, x y≤ 45000, 3x y ≤ 66000, x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 are as follows.
The corner points are O(0, 0), B1(0, 40000), G1(10500, 34500), H1(6000, 20000) and A1(20000, 0). 

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows
 
Corner point Z= 8x + 7y
O 0
B1 280000
G1 325500
H1 188000
A1 160000

The maximum value of Z is 325500 which is attained at G1(10500, 34500).
Thus, the maximum profit is Rs 325500 obtained when 10500 bottles of A and 34500 bottles of B were manufactured.

A dealer in rural area wishes to purchase a number of sewing machines. He has only Rs 5,760 to invest and has space for at most 20 items for storage. An electronic sewing machine cost him Rs 360 and a manually operated sewing machine Rs 240. He can sell an electronic sewing machine at a profit of Rs 22 and a manually operated sewing machine at a profit of Rs 18.

A cooperative society of farmers has 50 hectares of land to grow two crops A and B. The profits from crops A and B per hectare are estimated as Rs 10,500 and Rs 9,000 respectively. To control weeds, a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops A and B at the rate of 20 litres and 10 litres per hectare, respectively. Further not more than 800 litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. Keeping in mind that the protection of fish and other wildlife is more important than earning profit, how much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximize the total profit? Form an LPP from the above and solve it graphically. Do you agree with the message that the protection of wildlife is utmost necessary to preserve the balance in environment?
