Assignment Questions On Linear Programming

The document contains 4 problems related to linear programming. The first problem involves determining the optimal production allocation of two product models (M1 and M2) by a manufacturer to maximize weekly profit given constraints on grinding and polishing hours from equipment. The second problem involves determining the optimal production units of two products (A and B) by a firm to maximize weekly profit given constraints on raw materials and labor hours. The third problem involves determining the optimal purchase quantities of two fertilizer mixtures (A and B) for a farmer to obtain required amounts of fertilizers at minimum cost. The fourth problem involves determining the optimal production units of three cloth types (A, B, C) by a firm to maximize profit given constraints on available quantities of

Assignment I

Formulation of Linear Programming (to be submitted on 28/09/2015)


1. A manufacturer produces two types of models M1 and M2.Each model of the
type M1requires 4 hours of grinding and 2 hours of polishing; whereas each
model of M2 requires 2 hours of grinding and 5 hours of polishing. The
manufacturer has 2 grinders and 3 polishers. Each grinder works for 40
hours a week and each polisher works 60 hours a week. Profit on M1 model
is Rs.3.00 and on model M2 is Rs.4.00.Whatever produced in a week is sold
in the market. How should the manufacturer allocate his production
capacity to the two types of models, so that he makes maximum profit in a
week?
2. A firm is engaged in producing two products. A and B. Each unit of product
A requires 2 kg of raw material and 4 labour hours for processing, where as
each unit of B requires 3 kg of raw materials and 3 labour hours for the
same type. Every week, the firm has an availability of 60 kg of raw material
and 96 labour hours. One unit of product A sold yields Rs.40 and one unit
of product B sold gives Rs.35 as profit. Formulate this as an Linear
Programming Problem to determine as to how many units of each of the
products should be produced per week so that the firm can earn maximum
profit.
3. The agricultural research institute suggested the farmer to spread out at
least 4800 kg of special phosphate fertilizer and not less than 7200 kg of a
special nitrogen fertilizer to raise the productivity of crops in his fields.
There are two sources for obtaining these mixtures A and mixtures B.
Both of these are available in bags weighing 100kg each and they cost Rs.40
and Rs.24 respectively. Mixture A contains phosphate and nitrogen
equivalent of 20kg and 80 kg respectively, while mixture B contains these
ingredients equivalent of 50 kg each. Write this as an LPP and determine
how many bags of each type the farmer should buy in order to obtain the
required fertilizer at minimum cost.
4. A firm can produce 3 types of cloth, A , B and C.3 kinds of wool are required
Red, Green and Blue.1 unit of length of type A cloth needs 2 meters of red
wool and 3 meters of blue wool.1 unit of length of type B cloth needs 3
meters of red wool, 2 meters of green wool and 2 meters of blue wool.1 unit
type of C cloth needs 5 meters of green wool and 4 meters of blue wool. The

firm has a stock of 8 meters of red, 10 meters of green and 15 meters of


blue. It is assumed that the income obtained from 1 unit of type A is Rs.3,
from B is Rs.5 and from C is Rs.4.Formulate this as an LPP.
