Question
Solve the following linear programming problem graphically.
Maximize Z = 60x1 + 15x2 subject to the constraints: x1 + x2 ≤ 50; 3x1 + x2 ≤ 90 and x1, x2 ≥ 0.

Solution
Since the decision variables, x1 and x2 are non-negative, the solution lies in the I quadrant of the plane.
Consider the equations
x1 + x2 = 50
| x1 | 0 | 50 |
| x2 | 50 | 0 |
3x1 + x2 = 90
| x1 | 0 | 30 |
| x2 | 90 | 0 |
The feasible region is OABC and its co-ordinates are O(0, 0) A(30, 0) C(0, 50) and B is the point of intersection of the lines
x1 + x2 = 50 ..........(1)
3x1 + x2 = 90 .........(2)
Verification of B:
x1 + x2 = 50 ..........(1)
3x1 + x2 = 90 .........(2)
− − −
− 2x1 = − 40
x1 = 20
From (1), 20 + x2 = 50
x2 = 30
∴ B is (20, 30)
| Corner points | Z = 60x1 + 15x2 |
| O(0, 0) | 0 |
| A(30, 0) | 1800 |
| B(20, 30) | 1650 |
| C(0, 50) | 7500 |
Maximum value occurs at C(0, 50)
∴ The solution is x1 = 0, x2 = 50 and Zmax = 7500.

A company manufactures two models of voltage stabilizers viz., ordinary and auto-cut. All components of the stabilizers are purchased from outside sources, assembly and testing is carried out at the company’s own works. The assembly and testing time required for the two models are 0.8 hours each for ordinary and 1.20 hours each for auto-cut. Manufacturing capacity 720 hours at present is available per week. The market for the two models has been surveyed which suggests a maximum weekly sale of 600 units of ordinary and 400 units of auto-cut. Profit per unit for ordinary and auto-cut models has been estimated at ₹ 100 and ₹ 150 respectively. Formulate the linear programming problem.
