Question
A company produces two types of products say type A and B. Profits on the two types of product are ₹ 30/- and ₹ 40/- per kg respectively. The data on resources required and availability of resources are given below.
| Requirements | Capacity available per month | ||
| Product A | Product B | ||
| Raw material (kgs) | 60 | 120 | 12000 |
| Machining hours/piece | 8 | 5 | 600 |
| Assembling (man hours) | 3 | 4 | 500 |
Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem to maximize the profit.

Solution
(i) Variables: Let x1 and x2 denote the two types products A and B respectively.
(ii) Objective function:
Profit on x1 units of type A product = 30x1
Profit on x2 units of type B product = 40x2
Total profit = 30x1 + 40x2
Let Z = 30x1 + 40x2, which is the objective function.
Since the profit is to be maximized, we have to maximize Z = 30x1 + 40x2
(iii) Constraints:
60x1 + 120x2 ≤ 12,000
8x1 + 5x2 ≤ 600
3x1 + 4x2 ≤ 500
(iv) Non-negative constraints: Since the number of products on type A and type B are non-negative, we have x1, x2 ≥ 0
Thus, the mathematical formulation of the LPP is Maximize Z = 30x1 + 40x2
Subject to the constraints,
60x1 + 120x2 ≤ 12,000
8x1 + 5x2 ≤ 600
3x1 + 4x2 ≤ 500
x1, x2 ≥ 0

A company manufactures two models of voltage stabilizers viz., ordinary and auto-cut. All components of the stabilizers are purchased from outside sources, assembly and testing is carried out at the company’s own works. The assembly and testing time required for the two models are 0.8 hours each for ordinary and 1.20 hours each for auto-cut. Manufacturing capacity 720 hours at present is available per week. The market for the two models has been surveyed which suggests a maximum weekly sale of 600 units of ordinary and 400 units of auto-cut. Profit per unit for ordinary and auto-cut models has been estimated at ₹ 100 and ₹ 150 respectively. Formulate the linear programming problem.
