Module I
11 A company manufactures two types of products, P and Q. Both uses milling and turning (14)
for its production. The process time required for product P is 10 hours milling and 8 hours
turning per unit, whereas for product Q, it is 20 hours and 8 hours for milling and turning
respectively. The maximum hours available per week on milling machine and lathe (for
turning) are 120 hours and 80 hours respectively. The profit per unit on sale of product P
and Q is Rs.12 and Rs.16, respectively. Formulate and solve a LP model to find the
production volume of P and Q such that the total profit is maximized.
OR
12 Solve the following LP problem using suitable method. (14)
Maximize z = 12 x1 + 16 x2

Subject to constraints:
