LINEAR PROGRAMMING-VALUE BASED QUESTIONS.
1.A firm manufactures jute bags and cloth bags. The total number of
items it can manufacture is at most 24. A Jute bag requires 1 hour to
be made while a cloth bag requires only half an hour. The maximum
number of hours available per day is 6 hours. If the profit on a jute bag
is Rs.30 and on a cloth bag is Rs.20, how many bags of each type must
be made for maximum profit? Solve it graphically.
The manufacturer wants to replace cloth bags by plastic bags to
increase his profit margin. Is it a good idea? If not, give reasons.
Cloth bags are biodegradable while plastic is not. Also cloth bags can be
reused.

2. A manufacturer makes cycles and scooters. Processing of these
products is done on two machines A and B. The cycle parts need 2
hours on machine A and 6 hours on machine B. Parts of a scooter
needs 4 hours on machine A and 2 hours on machine B.
Machine A is available for 16 hours per day and Machine B is available
for 30 hours per day. Profit gained by the manufacturers from a cycle
and a scooter is Rs.1000 and Rs.3000 respectively. Find with the help of
a graph what should be the daily production of each of the two products
to maximize the profit? Which of the above modes of transport is a better
option and why?
Using cycles is a better option since it is environment friendly and
reduces pollution.
It is also a good exercise option.
3.There are two types of fertilizers that a farmer uses in his farm namely
A and B. A consists of 10 % of nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acid while B
contains 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. The farmer needs at
least 14 kg of nitrogen and 14 kg of phosphoric acid. If A costs Rs. 8/kg
and B costs Rs. 6/kg, determine how much of each type of fertilizer
should be used by the farmer so that the required nutrient levels are met
at minimum cost. What is the minimum cost? The farmer is considering
the option of using pesticides to increase his yield. What is your opinion?
Can he convert it into an organic farm?
Pesticides may increase the yield but are harmful to mankind. Organic
farming is a good option as it is free of use of any chemicals
1. A farmer decides to plant upto 10 hectares with cabbages and
potatoes. He decides to grow at least 2 but not more than 8 hectares of
cabbages and at least 1 but not more than 6 hectares of potatoes. He
can make a profit of Rs. 1500 per hectare on cabbages and Rs.2000 per
hectare on potatoes. How should he plan his farming so as to maximize
his profit.
Keeping in mind the nutritional value of both vegetables, do you
think the farmers production will help the community? Mention
one value point the farmer display?.
Ans: Potatoes are produced more and the farmers production will help
the community as the potatoes have high protein value than cabbages.
So the farmer promotes health awareness .
6. A manufacturer produces two types of disposable plates, one
using plastic and the other using bamboo. Three machines are
required to produce the plates and the time in minutes is given
below.

paise, how many plates of each type should the factory produce to
maximize the profit.
Which type of plates do you think should be promoted more and
mention one value point as the reason.
Ans: Bamboo plates should be promoted more as they are bio
degradable and eco friendly.
3. A principal decides to buy colour boxes and books as prizes for
children. A colour box costs Rs.5 and a book costs Rs. 10.He wants to
buy at least 4 of each of them. How many of each should he buy so that
the expenditure does not exceed Rs.100 and at the same time can give
maximum number of prizes?

children.
Or
Colour Boxes helps to improve their creativity .

Probability - Examples of value based questions ( Answers are provided
for value based questions only )
Q1) An insurance company insured 2000 scooter drivers, 4000 car
drivers and 6000 truck drivers. The probability of an accident involving a
scooter driver, car driver and a truck is 0.01, 0.03 and 0.15 respectively.
One of the insured persons meets with an accident. What is the
probability that he is a scooter driver?
Write down any two practices that would enhance road safety.
Ans 1) Obeying traffic signals 2) Not using cell phones while driving
3) Proper maintenance of vehicles. 4) Moving within the speed limit
Q2) In a test, an examinee either guesses or copies or knows the
answer to a multiple choice question with four choices. The probability
that he makes a guess is 1/3 and the probability that he copies the
answer is 1/6. The probability that his answer is correct, given that he
copied it, is 1/8. Find the probability that he knew the answer to the
question, given that he correctly answered it.
Copying is akin to using a painkiller. Explain the analogy.
Ans Painkillers do not provide cure for the infection. They merely
relieve us of the pain (a symptom). Similarly copying in exams will not
help us sort out our trouble in the subject. It only postpones it for another
day.
