Solution
the problem is to be re-evaluated
The optimisation of the objective function of a LPP is governed by the constraints.
Therefore, if the constraints in a linear programming problem are changed, then the problem needs to be re-evaluated.

A company is making two products A and B. The cost of producing one unit of products A and B are Rs 60 and Rs 80 respectively. As per the agreement, the company has to supply at least 200 units of product B to its regular customers. One unit of product A requires one machine hour whereas product B has machine hours available abundantly within the company. Total machine hours available for product A are 400 hours. One unit of each product A and B requires one labour hour each and total of 500 labour hours are available. The company wants to minimize the cost of production by satisfying the given requirements. Formulate the problem as a LPP.
A firm manufactures two types of products A and B and sells them at a profit of Rs 2 on type A and Rs 3 on type B. Each product is processed on two machines M1 and M2. Type A requires one minute of processing time on M1 and two minutes of M2; type B requires one minute on M1 and one minute on M2. The machine M1 is available for not more than 6 hours 40 minutes while machine M2 is available for 10 hours during any working day. Formulate the problem as a LPP.
A rubber company is engaged in producing three types of tyres A, B and C. Each type requires processing in two plants, Plant I and Plant II. The capacities of the two plants, in number of tyres per day, are as follows:
| Plant | A | B | C |
| I | 50 | 100 | 100 |
| II | 60 | 60 | 200 |
The monthly demand for tyre A, B and C is 2500, 3000 and 7000 respectively. If plant I costs Rs 2500 per day, and plant II costs Rs 3500 per day to operate, how many days should each be run per month to minimize cost while meeting the demand? Formulate the problem as LPP.
A manufacturer can produce two products, A and B, during a given time period. Each of these products requires four different manufacturing operations: grinding, turning, assembling and testing. The manufacturing requirements in hours per unit of products A and B are given below.
| A | B | |
| Grinding | 1 | 2 |
| Turning | 3 | 1 |
| Assembling | 6 | 3 |
| Testing | 5 | 4 |
The available capacities of these operations in hours for the given time period are: grinding 30; turning 60, assembling 200; testing 200. The contribution to profit is Rs 20 for each unit of A and Rs 30 for each unit of B. The firm can sell all that it produces at the prevailing market price. Determine the optimum amount of A and B to produce during the given time period. Formulate this as a LPP.
A firm manufactures two products, each of which must be processed through two departments, 1 and 2. The hourly requirements per unit for each product in each department, the weekly capacities in each department, selling price per unit, labour cost per unit, and raw material cost per unit are summarized as follows:
| Product A | Product B | Weekly capacity | |
| Department 1 | 3 | 2 | 130 |
| Department 2 | 4 | 6 | 260 |
| Selling price per unit | Rs 25 | Rs 30 | |
| Labour cost per unit | Rs 16 | Rs 20 | |
| Raw material cost per unit | Rs 4 | Rs 4 |
The problem is to determine the number of units to produce each product so as to maximize total contribution to profit. Formulate this as a LPP.
