product contains 5, 2 and 1 unit of A, B and C respectively per jar. A dry product contains 1, 2 and 4
units of A, B and C per carton. If liquid product sells for Rs 3 per jar and the dry product sells for Rs
2 per carton, how many of each should be purchased to minimize the costs and meet the
requirement? Formulate the problem as an LPP.
2. A firm produces three products. These products are processes on three different machines. The time
required to manufacture one unit of each of the three products and the daily capacity of the three
machines are given in the table below. It is required to determine the daily number of units to be
manufactured for each product. The profit per unit for product 1, 2 and 3 is Rs.4, Rs.3 and Rs. 6
respectively. It is assumed that all the amounts produced are consumed in the market. Formulate the
mathematical model that will maximize the daily profit.
Time per unit (minutes) Machine
Machine Capacity
Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 (minutes/day)
M1 2 3 2 440
M2 4 - 3 470
M3 2 5 - 430
3. A company produces two types of presentation goods A and B that require gold and silver. Each unit

grams of gold. The company can produce 9 gram of silver and 8 grams of gold. If each unit of type
A brings a profit of Rs. 400 and that of type B Rs. 500. Formulate the problem to determine the
number of units of each type that should be produced in order to maximize the profit.
4. A firm makes two types of furniture; chairs and tables. The contribution for each product as
calculated by accounting department are Rs.20 per chair and Rs.30 per table. Both products are
processes on three machines A, B and C. The time required by each product and total time available
per week on machine are as follows:

Machine Chair Table Available hours


A 3 3 36
B 5 2 50
C 2 6 60
 Formulate this problem as a L.P.P.
 How should the manufacturer schedule his production in order to maximize contribution?
5. A shop can make two types of sweets (A and B). They use two resources flour and sugar. To
make one packet of A, they need 3 kg of flour and 3 kg of sugar. To make one packet of B,
they need 3 kg of flour and 4 kg of sugar. They have 21 kg of flour and 28 kg of sugar. These
