In fi a e 4 A : na es Scanned with CamScanner F example 2.10 An agriculturist has 60 acres of land on which he can grow three crops, namely radish, peas and potatoes. The average per acre yield for these crops is: 1,600 kg per acre for radish; 2,000 kg per acre for peas and 1,400 kg per acre for potatoes while the respective selling prices of these are @ 8, 7 7 and? 8 per kg. To raise the crops, manure and labour are required, The cost of manure to raise 100 kg of either of the crops is % 36, 40 and % 36 for radish, peas and potatoes, respectively, while the per acre requirement of labour is 6, 8 and 5 man-days in that order for these crops. The labour costs % 400 per person per day and the total availability of labour is restricted to 400 man-days. Further, it is desired to produce at least 16,000 kg of radish, 16,000 kg of peas and 14,000 kg of potatoes. Formulate this as a linear programming model to maximise profit for the agriculturist. Let x1, x2, and x5, respectively, be the number of acres of land used for growing radish, peas and potatoes. The profit obtainable using relevant information is calculated here.

The marketing department estimates that at least 2,500 manual machines, 4,000 semi-automatics and 1,500 automatic machines need to be produced each week. Producing each washing machine requires a certain amount of time to: (i) manufacture the body parts; (\i) assemble the parts (some components are purchased from outside sources and can be ignored in the production scheduling decision); and (ii) inspect, test and package the final product. The following table shows the requirements (in hours) for each line of washing machine. There are 4,000 hours of manufacturing time, 5,000 hours of assembly, and 1,500 hours total to inspect, test and package per week.
