Q2. a. Explain the graphical method of solving Linear Programming Problem.
b. A paper mill produces two grades of paper viz., X and Y. Because of raw material restrictions, it cannot
produce more than 400 tons of grade X paper and 300 tons of grade Y paper in a week. There are 160
production hours in a week. It requires 0.20 and 0.40 hours to produce a ton of grade X and Y papers.
The mill earns a profit of Rs. 200 and Rs. 500 per ton of grade X and Y paper respectively. Formulate this
as a Linear Programming Problem.
Answer: a. Linear Programming (LP) can be used to find a solution for optimising a given objective. The
objective may be to maximise profit or to minimise cost. You need to ensure that both the objective function and
the constraints can be expressed as linear expressions of decision variables.

Q3. a. Explain how to solve the degeneracy in transportation problems.
b. Explain the procedure of MODI method of finding solution through optimality test.
a. Degeneracy in transportation problem: Degeneracy exists in a transportation problem when the number of
filled cells is less than the number of rows plus the number of columns minus one (m + n - 1). Degeneracy may
be observed either during the initial allocation when the first entry in a row or column satisfies both the row and
column requirements or during the Stepping stone method application, when the added and subtracted values are

At present the track will hold 150 cars. Using the following random numbers determine the average
number of cars waiting for shipment in the company and average number of empty space in the truck.
Random Numbers 82, 54, 50, 96, 85, 34, 30, 02, 64, 47.
Answer:
a. Monte Carlo Simulation: Monte Carlo simulation is a computerized mathematical technique that allows
people to account for risk in quantitative analysis and decision making. The technique is used by professionals
in such widely disparate fields as finance, project management, energy, manufacturing, engineering, research
and development, insurance, oil & gas, transportation, and the environment.

Q6. a. Explain the dominance principle in game theory.
b. Describe the Constituents of a Queuing System.
c. Differentiate between PERT and CPM
Answer:
a. Solving games using dominance: Consider a two-person zero-sum game with players A and B. Let A1
,A2 ,......Am be the courses of action for player A. Let B1 ,B2 , ...Bn be the courses of action for player B.
Suppose the game has a saddle point. Use the dominance property in sequence to delete the courses of action of
