Linear Programming Lab PDF

The document describes a linear programming problem to maximize the daily profit of a store that sells men's and women's tennis shoes. It takes different amounts of time from salespeople and cashiers to sell each type of shoe. The objective is to determine the number of pairs of each type of shoe to sell to maximize daily profit within the constraints of staff time. The procedure outlines opening TORA software, inputting the problem details, and solving to find the optimal solution. Viva questions define key linear programming concepts like constraints, objective function, and optimal solutions.

LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEM

OBJECTIVE :A store sells men's and women's tennis shoes. It makes a profit of $1 per pair of men's shoes and $1.20 per
pair of women's shoes. It takes two minutes of a salesperson's time and two minutes of a cashier's time to sell a pair of men's
shoes. It takes three minutes of a salesperson's time and one minute of a cashier's time per pair of women's shoes. The store
is open eight hours per day, during which time there are two salespersons and one cashier on duty. How many pairs of shoes
of each type should the store sell in order to maximize profit each day?

RESOURCE : TORA

PROCEDURE:
Step 1: click to exe file of TORA, to open the software.
Step 2 : click linear programming problem.
Step 3: After click to linear programming a window is open (as shown). Click to
the “Go to the input screen”.
Step 4: After that write Problem Title, No. of Variable and No. of Constraint according to the given problem.
Step 5: A new window is open. Fill all column according to the problem. Such that fill column of Maximize or Minimize
and then constraint. And click to the Solve Now.

VIVA QUESTIONS:
1. What are the non negativity constraints?
2. What are the different constraints?
3. Define objective function?
4. What is an optimal solution?
5. What is basic feasible and non feasible solutions?
