Question

A manufacturer makes two products A and B. Product A sells at Rs 200 each and takes 1/2 hour to make. Product B sells at Rs 300 each and takes 1 hour to make. There is a permanent order for 14 of product A and 16 of product B. A working week consists of 40 hours of production and weekly turnover must not be less than Rs 10000. If the profit on each of product A is Rs 20 and on product B is Rs 30, then how many of each should be produced so that the profit is maximum. Also, find the maximum profit.

Solution

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

According to question, the given information can be tabulated as:

  Selling price(Rs) Manufacturing time(hrs)
Product A(x) 200 0.5
Product B(y) 300 1


Also, the availability of time is 40 hours and the revenue should be atleast Rs 10000.

Further, it is given that there is a permanent order for 14 units of product A and 16 units of product B.

Therefore, the constraints are

\[200x + 300y \geq 10000\]

\[0 . 5x + y \leq 40\]

\[x \geq 14\]

\[y \geq 16\]

If the profit on each of product A is Rs 20 and on product B is Rs 30.Therefore, profit gained on x units of product A and y units of product is Rs 20x and Rs 30y respectively.

Total profit = Z = \[20x + 30y\]which is to be maximised
Thus, the mathematical formulat​ion of the given linear programmimg problem is 
Max Z =  \[20x + 30y\]

subject to

\[2x + 3y \geq 100\]
\[x + 2y \leq 80\]
\[x \geq 14\]
\[y \geq 16\]

\[x, y \geq 0\]

First we will convert inequations into equations as follows:
2x + 3y = 100, x + 2y = 80, x = 14, y = 16, x = 0 and y = 0.
Region represented by 2x + 3y ≥ 100:
The line 2x + 3y = 100 meets the coordinate axes at A1(50, 0) and \[B_1 \left( 0, \frac{100}{3} \right)\] respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 2x + 3y = 100 .

Clearly (0,0) does not satisfies the 2x + 3y = 100. So, the region which does not contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x + 3y ≥ 100.

Region represented by x + 2y ≤ 80:
The line x + 2y = 80 meets the coordinate axes at C1(80, 0) and D1(0, 40) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line
x + 2y = 80. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation x + 2y ≤ 80. So,the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation x + 2y ≤ 80.

Region represented by x ≥ 14
x = 14 is the line passes through (14, 0) and is parallel to the Y axis.The region to the right of the line x = 14 will satisfy the inequation.

Region represented by y ≥ 16
y = 16 is the line passes through (0, 16) and is parallel to the X axis.The region above the line y = 16 will satisfy the inequation.

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 2x + 3y ≥ 100, x + 2y ≤ 80, x≥ 14, y ≥ 16, x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 are as follows.


The corner points of the feasible region are E1(26, 16), F1(48, 16), G1(14, 33) and H1(14, 24)

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows
 

Corner point Z= 20x + 30y
E1 1000
F1 1440
G1 1270
H1 1000

The maximum value of Z is Rs 1440 which is attained at F1

\[\left( 48, 16 \right)\]
Thus, the maximum profit is Rs 1440 obtained when 48 units of product A and 16 units of product 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?
