Solution

Inequalities x ≤ 2 x+y≤3 -2x+y≤1
Equalities x=2 x+y=3 -2x+y=1
Intercept form

`x/2=1`

`x/3+y/3=1`

`x/(-1/2)+y/1=1`

Origin Test 0≤2 0+0≤3 -2(0)+0≤1
  True Origin Side True Origin Side True Origin Side

Shaded portion OABC is the feasible region, Where O(0,0) A(2, 0) D(0, 1), B(2, 1)

For C :

   x + y = 3

– 2x + y = 1

   –   –      –

----------------------

   3x = 2

∴ x = 2/3

2/3+y=3 i.e y=7/3

`∴ c(2/3,7/3)`

Z = 6x + 4y

Z at O(0, 0) = 6(0) + 4(0) = 0

Z at A(2, 0) = 6(2) + 4(0) = 12

Z at B(2, 1) = 6(2) + 4(1) = 16

Z at `c(2/3,7/3)=6(2/3)+(7/3)4=40/3`

Z at D(0,1) = 6(0) + 4(1) = 4 Thus, Z is maximized at B(2, 1) and its maximum value is 16.

A dietician has to develop a special diet using two foods P and Q. Each packet (containing 30 g) of food P contains 12 units of calcium, 4 units of iron, 6 units of cholesterol and 6 units of vitamin A. Each packet of the same quantity of food Q contains 3 units of calcium, 20 units of iron, 4 units of cholesterol and 3 units of vitamin A. The diet requires atleast 240 units of calcium, atleast 460 units of iron and at most 300 units of cholesterol. How many packets of each food should be used to minimise the amount of vitamin A in the diet? What is the minimum of vitamin A.

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?

The profit is 50 paise each for type A and 60 paise each for type B souvenirs. How many souvenirs of each type should the company manufacture in order to maximize the profit?
