We need to maximize the function Z = 4x + 2y
Converting the given inequations into equations, we obtain
Region represented by 2x + 3y ≤ 18 :
The line 2x + 3y = 18 meets the coordinate axes at A(9, 0) and B(0, 6) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 2x + 3y = 18.
Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation 2x + 3y ≤ 18. So,the region in xy plane which contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x + 3y ≤ 18.
Region represented by x + y ≥ 10:
The line x + y = 10 meets the coordinate axes at \[C\left( 10, 0 \right)\] and D(0, 10) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line x + y =10.
Clearly (0,0) does not satisfies the inequation x + y ≥ 10. So,the region which does not contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation x + y ≥ 10.
Since, every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations . So, the first quadrant is the region represented by the inequations x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0.

We observe that feasible region of the given LPP does not exist.

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.
An automobile manufacturer makes automobiles and trucks in a factory that is divided into two shops. Shop A, which performs the basic assembly operation, must work 5 man-days on each truck but only 2 man-days on each automobile. Shop B, which performs finishing operations, must work 3 man-days for each automobile or truck that it produces. Because of men and machine limitations, shop A has 180 man-days per week available while shop B has 135 man-days per week. If the manufacturer makes a profit of Rs 30000 on each truck and Rs 2000 on each automobile, how many of each should he produce to maximize his profit? Formulate this as a LPP.
