Advertisements
Solution
To find the feasible solution, construct the table as follows:
| Inequation | Equation | Double intercept form |
Points (x, y) |
Region |
| 2x + 3y ≤ 12 | 2x + 3y = 12 | `x/6 + y/4` = 1 | A(6, 0) B(0, 4) |
2(0) + 3(0) ≤ 12 ∴ 0 ≤ 12 ∴ origin side |
| 2x + y ≤ 8 | 2x + y = 8 | `x/4 + y/8` = 1 | C(4, 0) D(0, 8) |
2(0) + 0 ≤ 8 ∴ 0 ≤ 8 ∴ origin side |
| x ≥ 0 | x = 0 | − | − | R.H.S. of Y-axis |
| y ≥ 0 | y = 0 | − | − | Above X-axis |
The shaded portion represents the graphical solution.

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.
