Question
A small firm manufacturers items A and B. The total number of items A and B that it can manufacture in a day is at the most 24. Item A takes one hour to make while item B takes only half an hour. The maximum time available per day is 16 hours. If the profit on one unit of item A be Rs 300 and one unit of item B be Rs 160, how many of each type of item be produced to maximize the profit? Solve the problem graphically.

Solution
Let the firm manufacture x items of A and y items of B per day.
Number of items cannot be negative.
Therefore, x ≥0 and y ≥0.
It is given that the total number of items manufactured per day is at most 24.
∴ x + y ≤ 24
Item A takes 1 hour to make and item B takes 0.5 hour to make.
The maximum number of hours available per day is 16 hours.
∴ x + 0.5y ≤ 16
If the profit on one unit of item A be Rs 300 and one unit of item B be Rs 160.Therefore, profit gained on x items of A and y items of B is
Rs 300x and Rs 160y respectively.
∴ Total profit, Z = 300x + 160y
Thus, the mathematical formulation of the given problem is:
Maximise Z = 300x + 160y
subject to the constraints
x+ y ≤ 24
x + 0.5y ≤ 16
x, y ≥0
First we will convert inequations into equations as follows:
x + y = 24, x + 0.5y = 16, x = 0 and y = 0
Region represented by x + y ≤ 24:
The line x + y = 24 meets the coordinate axes at A1(24, 0) and B1(0, 24) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line x + y = 24. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the x + y = 24. So, the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation
x + y ≤ 24.
Region represented by x + 0.5y ≤ 16:
The line x + 0.5y = 16 meets the coordinate axes at C1(16, 0) and D1(0, 32) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line x + 0.5y = 16. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation x + 0.5y ≤ 16. So,the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation x + 0.5y ≤ 16.
Region represented by x ≥ 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 ≤ 24, x + 0.5y ≤ 16, x ≥ 0and y ≥ 0 are as follows.
The corner points are O(0, 0) ,C1(16, 0), E1(8, 16) and B1(0, 24).
The value of Z at these corner points are as follows:
| Corner point | Z = 300x + 160y |
| O(0, 0) | 0 |
| C1(16, 0) | 4800 |
| E1(8, 16) | 4960 |
| B1(0, 24) | 3840 |
Thus, the maximum value of Z is 4960 at E1(8, 16).
Thus, 8 units of item A and 16 units of item B should be manufactured per day to maximise the profits.

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?
