Question
What will be the minimum cost?

Answer


We have minimize z = 400x + 200y, subject to
$5\text{x}+2\text{y}\geq30$
$2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq15$
$\text{x}\leq\text{y}$
$\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$
These inequalities are plotted as shown in the adjucent figure.
From the figure shaded region is bounded with the corner points $\text{A}\Big(\frac{30}{7},\frac{30}{7}\Big),$ B(5, 5) and C(0, 15).
Corner points
Corresponding value of Z = 400x + 200
$(0, 15)$
$3000$
$(5,5)$
$3000$
$\Big(\frac{30}{7},\frac{30}{7}\Big)$
$400\times\frac{30}{7}+200\times\frac{30}{7}=\frac{18000}{7}=2571.43$ (Minimum)
Hence, the minimum cast is Rs. 2571.43.

Amit's mathematics teacher has given him three very long lists of problems with the instruction to submit not more than 100 of them (correctly solved) for credit. The problem in the first set are worth 5 points each, those in the second set are worth 4 points each, and those in the third set are worth 6 points each. Amit knows from experience that he requires on the average 3 minutes to solve a 5 point problem, 2 minutes to solve a 4 point problem, and 4 minutes to solve a 6 point problem. Because he has other subjects to worry about, he can not afford to devote more than $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours altogether to his mathematics assignment. Moreover, the first two sets of problems involve numerical calculations and he knows that he cannot stand more than $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours work on this type of problem. Under these circumstances, how many problems in each of these categories shall he do in order to get maximum possible credit for his efforts? Formulate this as a LPP.
