An oil refinery produces low-sulfur and high-sulfur fuel. Each ton of low-sulfur
requires 5 minutes in the blending plant and 4 minutes in the refining plant; each
ton of high sulfur fuel requires 4 minutes in the blending plant and 2 minutes in
the refining plant. If the blending plant is available for 3 hours and the refining
plant is available for 2 hours, how many tons of each type of fuel should be
manufactured so that the plants are fully utilized?
Solution:
The data given in the question can be formed into system of linear equations
as
Low-sulfur High-sulfur
Blending plant 5 4
Refining Plant 4 2
As we are given in the question that we have blending plant and refining plant
available for 3 and 2 hours respectively. Let x tons of low-sulfur and y tons of
high sulfur be the amount should be manufactured so that plants are fully utilized.
Then from the above data we must have the system,
5x + 4y = 180
4x + 2y = 120
Augmented matrix for the above system
⎡5 4 180 ⎤ ⎡1 2 60 ⎤

⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦
⎡1 2 60 ⎤
∼⎢ ⎥
is ⎣ 0 − 6 − 120 ⎦
So we have x + 2y = 60 and -6y = - 120, thus we have y= 20 tons and x = 20tons
are the required manufactured tons of each low-sulfur and high-sulfur so that we
can utilize both plants for the given time.
