Solution
The feasible region determined by the constraints, x ≥ 3, x + y ≥ 5, x + 2y ≥ 6, y ≥ 0 is given below.
Here, it be seen the can that feasible region is unbounded.
The values of Z at corner points A (3, 2), B (4, 1) and C (6, 0) are given below.
| Corner point | Corresponding value of Z = – x + 2y |
| A (3, 2) | 1 ( may or may not be the maximum value) |
| B (4, 1) | –2 |
| C (6, 0) | –6 |
Since the feasible region is unbounded, Z = 1 may or may not be the maximum value.
Now, we draw the graph of the inequality, – x + 2y > 1, and we check whether the resulting open half-plane has any point/s, in common with the feasible region or not.
Here, the resulting open half plane has points in common with the feasible region.
Hence, Z = 1 is not the maximum value. We conclude, Z has no maximum value.

A manufacturer of patent medicines is preparing a production plan on medicines, A and B. There are sufficient raw materials available to make 20000 bottles of A and 40000 bottles of B, but there are only 45000 bottles into which either of the medicines can be put. Further, it takes 3 hours to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of A, it takes 1 hour to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of B and there are 66 hours available for this operation. The profit is Rs 8 per bottle for A and Rs 7 per bottle for B. How should the manufacturer schedule his production in order to maximize his profit?
A man owns a field of area 1000 sq.m. He wants to plant fruit trees in it. He has a sum of Rs 1400 to purchase young trees. He has the choice of two types of trees. Type A requires 10 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs 20 per tree and type B requires 20 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs 25 per tree. When fully grown, type A produces an average of 20 kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs 2.00 per kg and type B produces an average of 40 kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 1.50 per kg. How many of each type should be planted to achieve maximum profit when the trees are fully grown? What is the maximum profit?
