A company manufactures two types of sweaters: type A and type B. It costs Rs 360 to make a type A sweater and Rs 120 to make a type B Sweater. The company can make at most 300 sweaters and spend at most Rs 72000 a day. The number of sweaters of type B cannot exceed the number of sweaters of type A by more than 100. The company makes a profit of Rs 200 for each sweater of type A and Rs 120 for every sweater of type B. Formulate this problem as a LPP to maximise the profit to the company.

A man rides his motorcycle at the speed of 50 kmh. He has to spend Rs 2 per km on petrol. If he rides it at a faster speed of 80 kmh, the petrol cost increases to Rs 3 per km. He has at most Rs 120 to spend on petrol and one hour’s time. He wishes to find the maximum distance that he can travel. Express this problem as a linear programming problem.

A manufacturer produces nuts and bolts for industrial machinery. It takes 1 hour of work on machine A and 3 hours on machine B to produces a packet of nuts while it takes 3 hours on machine A and 1 hour on machine B to produce a packet of bolts. He earns a profit 17.50 per packet on nuts and 7 per packet on bolts. How many packets of each should be produced each day so as to maximise his profit if he operates each machine for at the most 12 hours a day? Also find the maximum profit.

A manufacturer produces two types of soap bars using two machines, A and B. A is operated for 2 minutes and B for 3 minutes to manufacture the first type, while it takes 3 minutes on machine A and 5 minutes on machine B to manufacture the second type. Each machine can be operated at the most for 8 hours per day. The two types of soap bars are sold at a profit of 0.25 and 0.50 each. Assuming that the manufacturer can sell all the soap bars he can manufacture, how many bars of soap of each type should be manufactured per day so as to maximize his profit?

A dealer wishes to purchase a number of fans and sewing machines. He has only 5760 to invest and space for at most 20 items. A fan costs him 360 and a sewing machine,240. He expects to gain 22 on a fan and 18 on a sewing machine. Assuming that he can sell all the items he can buy, how should he invest the money in order to maximise the profit?

A carpenter has 90, 80 and 50 running feet respectively of teak wood, plywood and rosewood which is used to produce product A and product B. Each unit of product A requires 2,1 and 1 running feet and each unit of product B requires 1, 2 and 1 running feet of teak wood, plywood and rosewood respectively. If product A is sold for 48 per unit and product B is sold for 40 per unit, how many units of product A and product B should be produced and sold by the carpenter, in order to obtain the maximum gross income?

Formulate the above as a Linear Programming Program and solve it, indicating clearly the feasible region in the graph.
