Solution
First, we will convert the given inequations into equations, we obtain the following equations:
2x + y = 18, 3x + 2y = 34
Region represented by 2x + y ≥ 18:
The line 2x + y = 18 meets the coordinate axes at A(9, 0) and B(0, 18) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 2x + y = 18.
Clearly (0,0) does not satisfies the inequation 2x + y ≥ 18. So,the region in xy plane which does not contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x + y ≥ 18.
Region represented by 3x + 2y ≤ 34:
The line 3x + 2y = 34 meets the coordinate axes at
By joining these points we obtain the line 3x + 2y= 34.
Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation 3x + 2y ≤ 34. So,the region containing the origin
represents the solution set of the inequation 3x + 2y ≤ 34.
The corner points of the feasible region are A(9, 0),

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows.
| Corner point | Z = 50x + 30y | |
| A(9, 0) | 50 × 9 + 3 × 0 = 450 | |
| \[C\left( \frac{34}{3}, 0 \right)\] | 50 x \[\frac{34}{3}\] + 30 x 0= \[\frac{1700}{3}\] | |
| E(2, 14) |
|
Therefore, the maximum value of Z is
Thus, the optimal value of Z is \[\frac{1700}{3}\] .

A company produces two types of leather belts, say type A and B. Belt A is a superior quality and belt B is of a lower quality. Profits on each type of belt are Rs 2 and Rs 1.50 per belt, respectively. Each belt of type A requires twice as much time as required by a belt of type B. If all belts were of type B, the company could produce 1000 belts per day. But the supply of leather is sufficient only for 800 belts per day (both A and B combined). Belt A requires a fancy buckle and only 400 fancy buckles are available for this per day. For belt of type B, only 700 buckles are available per day.
How should the company manufacture the two types of belts in order to have a maximum overall profit?
