How many grams of each F₁ and F₂ should buy every day to keep her food bill minimum

A chemist has a compound to be made using 3 basic elements X, Y, Z so that it has at least 10 litres of X, 12 litres of Y and 20 litres of Z. He makes this compound by mixing two compounds (I) and (II). Each unit compound (I) had 4 litres of X, 3 litres of Y. Each unit compound (II) had 1 litre of X, 2 litres of Y and 4 litres of Z. The unit costs of compounds (I) and (II) are ₹ 400 and ₹ 600 respectively. Find the number of units of each compound to be produced so as to minimize the cost

A wholesale dealer deals in two kinds of mixtures A and B of nuts. Each kg of mixture A contains 60 grams of almonds, 30 grams of cashew and 30 grams of hazel nuts. Each kg of mixture B contains 30 grams of almonds, 60 grams of cashew and 180 grams of hazel nuts. A dealer is contemplating to use mixtures A and B to make a bag which will contain at least 240 grams of almonds, 300 grams of cashew and 540 grams of hazel nuts. Mixture A costs ₹ 8 and B costs ₹ 12 per kg. How many kgs of each mixture should he use to minimize the cost of the kgs

Amartya wants to invest ₹ 45,000 in Indira Vikas Patra (IVP) and in Public Provident fund (PPF). He wants to invest at least ₹ 10,000 in PPF and at least ₹ 5000 in IVP. If the rate of interest on PPF is 8% per annum and that on IVP is 7% per annum. Formulate the above problem as LPP to determine maximum yearly income.

Solution: Let x be the amount (in ₹) invested in IVP and y be the amount (in ₹) invested in PPF.

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

As per the given condition, x + y ______ 45000

He wants to invest at least ₹ 10,000 in PPF.

∴ y ______ 10000

Amartya wants to invest at least ₹ 5000 in IVP.

∴ x ______ 5000

Total interest (Z) = ______

The formulated LPP is

Maximize Z = ______ subject to 

______

Solve the following LPP graphically:

Maximize Z = 9x + 13y subject to constraints

2x + 3y ≤ 18, 2x + y ≤ 10, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Solution: Convert the constraints into equations and find the intercept made by each one of it.

The feasible region is OAPC, where O(0, 0), A(0, 6),

P( ___, ___ ), C(5, 0)

The optimal solution is in the following table:

∴ Z is maximum at __( ___, ___ ) with the value ___.

Solve the LPP graphically:
Minimize Z = 4x + 5y
Subject to the constraints 5x + y ≥ 10, x + y ≥ 6, x + 4y ≥ 12, x, y ≥ 0

Solution: Convert the constraints into equations and find the intercept made by each one of it.

∵ Origin has not satisfied the inequations.

∴ Solution of the inequations is away from origin.

The feasible region is unbounded area which is satisfied by all constraints.

In the figure, ABCD represents

The set of the feasible solution where

A(12, 0), B( ___, ___ ), C ( ___, ___ ) and D(0, 10).

The coordinates of B are obtained by solving equations

x + 4y = 12 and x + y = 6

The coordinates of C are obtained by solving equations

5x + y = 10 and x + y = 6

Hence the optimum solution lies at the extreme points.

The optimal solution is in the following table:

∴ Z is minimum at ___ ( ___, ___ ) with the value ___
