Solution
given by corner points of the feasible region
It is known that the optimal value of the objective function is attained at any of the corner point.
Thus, the optimal value of the objective function is attained at the points given by corner points of the feasible region.

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.
A manufacturer can produce two products, A and B, during a given time period. Each of these products requires four different manufacturing operations: grinding, turning, assembling and testing. The manufacturing requirements in hours per unit of products A and B are given below.
| A | B | |
| Grinding | 1 | 2 |
| Turning | 3 | 1 |
| Assembling | 6 | 3 |
| Testing | 5 | 4 |
The available capacities of these operations in hours for the given time period are: grinding 30; turning 60, assembling 200; testing 200. The contribution to profit is Rs 20 for each unit of A and Rs 30 for each unit of B. The firm can sell all that it produces at the prevailing market price. Determine the optimum amount of A and B to produce during the given time period. Formulate this as a LPP.
A firm manufactures two products, each of which must be processed through two departments, 1 and 2. The hourly requirements per unit for each product in each department, the weekly capacities in each department, selling price per unit, labour cost per unit, and raw material cost per unit are summarized as follows:
| Product A | Product B | Weekly capacity | |
| Department 1 | 3 | 2 | 130 |
| Department 2 | 4 | 6 | 260 |
| Selling price per unit | Rs 25 | Rs 30 | |
| Labour cost per unit | Rs 16 | Rs 20 | |
| Raw material cost per unit | Rs 4 | Rs 4 |
The problem is to determine the number of units to produce each product so as to maximize total contribution to profit. Formulate this as a LPP.
A firm has to transport at least 1200 packages daily using large vans which carry 200 packages each and small vans which can take 80 packages each. The cost of engaging each large van is ₹400 and each small van is ₹200. Not more than ₹3000 is to be spent daily on the job and the number of large vans cannot exceed the number of small vans. Formulate this problem as a LPP given that the objective is to minimize cost
