Question
Maximum Z = 15x + 10y
Subject to
$3\text{x}+2\text{y}\leq80$
$2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq70$
$\text{x},\text{y}\geq0$

Answer

First, we will convert the given inequations into equations, we obtain the following equations:

3x + 2y = 80, 2x + 3y = 70, x = 0 and y=0

Region represented by $3\text{x}+2\text{y}\leq80:$

The line 3x + 2y = 80 meets the coordinate axes at $\text{A}\Big(\frac{80}{3},0\Big)$ and B(0, 40) respectively.

By joining these points we obtain the line 3x + 2y = 80.

Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation $3\text{x}+2\text{y}\leq80$.

So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation $3\text{x}+2\text{y}\leq80$.

Region represented by $2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq70:$

The line 2x + 3y = 70 meets the coordinate axes at C(35, 0) and $\text{D}\Big(0,\frac{70}{3}\Big)$ respectively.

By joining these points we obtain the line $2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq70$.

Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation $2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq70$.

So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation $2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq70$.

Region represented by $\text{x}\geq0$ and $\text{y}\geq0$.

Since, every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations.

So, the first quadrant is the region represented by the inequations $\text{x}\geq0$ and $\text{y}\geq0$.

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints $3\text{x}+2\text{y}\leq80$, $2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq70$, $\text{x}\geq0$ and $\text{y}\geq0$ are as follows.



The corner points of the feasible are O(0, 0), $\text{A}\Big(\frac{80}{3},0\Big)\text{E}(20,10)$ and $\text{D}\Big(0,\frac{700}{3}\Big)$ .

The values of Z at these corner point are as follows.
$\text{Corner point}$
$\text{Z}=15\text{x}+10\text{y}$
$\text{O}(0, 0)$
$15\times0+10\times0=0$
$\text{A}\Big(\frac{80}{3},0\Big)$
$15\times\frac{80}{3}+10\times0=400$
$\text{E}(20, 10)$
$15\times20+10\times10=400$
$\text{D}\Big(0,\frac{70}{3}\Big)$
$15\times0+10\times\frac{70}{3}=\frac{700}{3}$
We see that maximum value of the objective functioin Z is 400 which is at $\text{A}\Big(\frac{80}{3},0\Big)$ and E(20, 10).

Thus, the optimal value of Z is 400.

A cottage industry manufactures pedestal lamps and wooden shades, each requiring the use of grinding/cutting machine and sprayer. It takes 2 hours on the grinding/cutting machine and 3 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a pedestal lamp while it takes 1 hour on the grinding/cutting machine and 2 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a shade. On any day, the sprayer is available for at most 20 hours and the grinding/cutting machine for at most 12 hours. The profit from the sale of a lamp is Rs. 5.00 and a shade is Rs. 3.00.
