Question

A firm manufactures two types of products A and B and sells them at a profit of Rs 5 per unit of type A and Rs 3 per unit of type B. Each product is processed on two machines M1 and M2. One unit of type A requires one minute of processing time on M1 and two minutes of processing time on M2, whereas one unit of type B requires one minute of processing time on M1 and one minute on M2. Machines M1 and M2 are respectively available for at most 5 hours and 6 hours in a day. Find out how many units of each type of product should the firm produce a day in order to maximize the profit. Solve the problem graphically.

Solution

Let x units of product A and y units of product B were manufactured.
Number of products cannot be negative.
Therefore, \[x, y \geq 0\]

According to question, the given information can be tabulated as  

  Time on 
\[M_1\]
(minutes)
Time on 
\[M_2\]
(minutes)
Product A(x) 1 2
Product B(y) 1 1
Availability 300 360

The constraints are 
\[x + y \leq 300\] \[2x + y \leq 360\]

Firm manufactures two types of products A and B and sells them at a profit of Rs 5 per unit of type A and Rs 3 per unit of type B.Therefore, x units of product A and y units of product B costs Rs 5x and Rs 3y respectively.
Total profit = Z =  \[5x + 3y\] which is to be maximised
Thus, the mathematical formulat​ion of the given linear programmimg problem is 
Max Z= \[5x + 3y\]
subject to
\[x + y \leq 300\] .
 \[2x + y \leq 360\]
\[x, y \geq 0\]
First we will convert inequations into equations as follows:
x + y = 300, 2x + y = 360, x = 0 and y = 0

Region represented by x + y ≤ 300:
The line x + y = 300 meets the coordinate axes at A1(300, 0) and B1(0, 300) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line
x + y = 30. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the x + y = 30. So, the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation
x + y ≤ 300.

Region represented by 2x y ≤ 360:
The line 2x + y = 360 meets the coordinate axes at C1(180, 0) and D1(0, 360) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line
2x + y = 360. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation 2x y ≤ 360. So,the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x y ≤ 360.

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 + y ≤ 300, 2x y ≤ 360, x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 are as follows.


The corner points are O(0, 0), B1(0, 300), E1(60, 240) and C1(180, 0).

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows

Corner point Z= 5x + 3y
O 0
B1 900
E1 1020
C1 900

The maximum value of Z is Rs 1020 which is attained at  B1\[\left( 60, 240 \right)\]

Thus, the maximum profit is Rs 1020 obtained when 60 units of product A and 240 units of product B were manufactured.

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?
