Determine the dimensions of an open box of maximum volume that can be constructed from an Ad sheet (210 mm x 297 mm) by cutting four squares of side x from the comers and folding and gluing the edges are shown in fig. ne —— 2. A projectile released from a height h at an angle @ with respect to the horizontal in a gravitational field g, shown in figure below, travels a distance D when it hits the ground (p61). If 50m and y=90 mvs, determine the angle @ (0 < 8 < 80) for which D is ‘maximum, Hint: Derive the objective functionand write down the constraints. 3. Consider that there are m number of manufacturing facilities (Fy, F2, ...Fy) to be established so as to cater to the demands of m number of retailers (Ri, Ra, .Ra). The quantities of the item each manufacturing facility must supply to each of the retailers is yun is the given by Qj, where #=1,2,..m is the index for manufacturing facilities and j= index for retailers. Let there are p number of possible locations (Li, La,..Lp) for establishing these manufacturing facilities and p>m. The cost per unit quantity of transporting the item from each location k (K=1,2,.p) to each retailer j (/=1,2,..n) is given by Cy, Write a mathematical formulation to allocate all the manufacturing facilities to one of the available locations such that the total cost of transportation to the retailers is minimized, Note: A location cannot accommodate more than one manufacturing facility. 4, A canning company operates two canning plants. There are three growers (S1,S2 and S3) who are willing to supply fresh fruits in the following amounts: © SI: 200 tonnes at Rs.1100/tonne = $2: 310 tonnes at Rs.1000/tonne © $3: 420 tonnes at Rs.900/tonne Shipping costs from growers to the canning plants in Rs. per tonne are: To: Plant A Plant B From: SI 3000 3500 $2 2000 2500 $3 6000 4000 Canning plant capacities and the labour costs are: Plant A Plant B Capacity 460 tonnes 560 tonnes Labour cost. Rs.26000/tonne Rs.21000/tonneThe canned fruits are sold at Rs 50000/tonne to the distributors. The company can sell at this, price all they can produce. The objective is to find the best mixture of the quantities supplied by the three growers to the two plants so that the company maximises its profits. Formulate the problem. 5. Acid company, a chemical engineering company manufactures two types of acids A and B, Both of these involve two chemical operations for each. Each unit of Acid A requires 3 hours on operation 1 and 4 hours on operation 2. Each unit of Acid B requires 3 hours on Operation and 2 hours on operation 2. Available time for operation 1 is 20 hours and for operation 2, 18 hours. The production of B also results in a by-product C at no extra cost. A part of this by-product can be sold at a profit, but the remainder has to be destroyed, Acid A sells for P; rupees profit per unit while acid B sells for P2 rupees profit per unit. The by-product C can be sold at a unit profit of Ps units, but remainder has to be destroyed. The destruction cost is Ps rupees per unit, Forecasts by sales department show that a maximum of K units of by-product C can be sold; 7 units of C results for every unit of B produced. Formulate a linear programming problem to determine the production quantities of A, B and C, so that the total profits will be maximized. 6, Let us consider a company making a single product. The estimated demand for the product for the next four months are 1000, 800, 1200, 900 units, respectively. The company has a regular time production capacity of 800 units per month and an overtime capacity of 200 units per month. The cost of regular time production is Rs. 20 per unit and the cost of overtime is Rs. 25 per unit. The company can carry inventory to the next month and the cost of carrying/holding is Rs. 3 per unit per month. The demand has to be met every month, Formulate the problem so as to minimize the overall cost by determining optimum quantity to be produced during regular time as well as overtime during each of the four months and also the quantity to be carried at the end of each month
