Question
A company manufactures two types of ladies dresses C and D. The raw material and labour available per day is given in the table.
| Resources | Dress C(x) | Dress D(y) | Max. availability |
| Raw material | 5 | 4 | 60 |
| Labour | 5 | 3 | 50 |
P is the profit, if P = 50x + 100y, solve this LPP to find x and y to get the maximum profit

Solution
| Resources | Dress C(x) | Dress D(y) | Max. availability |
| Raw material | 5 | 4 | 60 |
| Labour | 5 | 3 | 50 |
From the table, the constraints are
5x + 4y ≤ 60
5x + 3y ≤ 50
∴ Given problem can be formulated as follows:
Maximize P = 50x + 100y
Subject to 5x + 4y ≤ 60
5x + 3y ≤ 50, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
To draw the feasible region, construct table as follows:
| Inequality | 5x + 4y ≤ 60 | 5x + 3y ≤ 50 |
| Corresponding equation (of line) | 5x + 4y = 60 | 5x + 3y = 50 |
| Intersection of line with X-axis | (12, 0) | (10, 0) |
| Intersection of line with Y-axis | (0, 15) | `(0, 50/3)` |
| Region | Origin side | Origin side |
Shaded portion OABC is the feasible region whose vertices are O(0, 0), A(10, 0), B and C(0, 15).
B is the point of intersection of 5x + 3y = 50 and 5x + 4y = 60.
Solving the above equations, we get
x = 4, y = 10
∴ B ≡ (4, 10)
Here, the objective function is
P = 50x + 100y
∴ P at O(0, 0) = 50(0) + 100(0) = 0
P at A(10, 0) = 50(10) + 100(0) = 500
P at B(4, 10) = 50(4) + 100(10)
= 200 + 1000
= 1200
P at C(0, 15) = 50(0) + 100(15) = 1500
∴ Maximum value of P is 1500 at x = 0 and y = 15.

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.
A small manufacturing firm produces two types of gadgets A and B, which are first processed in the foundry, then sent to the machine shop for finishing. The number of man-hours of labour required in each shop for the production of each unit of A and B, and the number of man-hours the firm has available per week are as follows:
| Gadget | Foundry | Machine-shop |
| A | 10 | 5 |
| B | 6 | 4 |
| Firm's capacity per week | 1000 | 600 |
The profit on the sale of A is Rs 30 per unit as compared with Rs 20 per unit of B. The problem is to determine the weekly production of gadgets A and B, so that the total profit is maximized. Formulate this problem as a LPP.
