Important Questions on Linear Programming


A manufacturer produces nuts and bolts for industrial machinery. It takes hour of work on machine and hours on machine to produces a packet of nuts while it takes hours on machine and hour on machine to produce a packet of bolts. He earns a profit per packet on nuts and 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 hours a day? Also find the maximum profit.

A manufacturer produces two types of soap bars using two machines, and . is operated for minutes and for minutes to manufacture the first type, while it takes minutes on machine and minutes on machine to manufacture the second type. Each machine can be operated at the most for hours per day. The two types of soap bars are sold at a profit of and 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 to invest and space for at most items. A fan costs him and a sewing machine,. He expects to gain on a fan and 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 and running feet respectively of teak wood, plywood and rosewood which is used to produce product and product . Each unit of product requires and running feet and each unit of product requires and running feet of teak wood, plywood and rosewood respectively. If product is sold for per unit and product is sold for per unit, how many units of product and product should be produced and sold by the carpenter, in order to obtain the maximum gross income?
