Solution:

OAED is the feasible region O(0, 0) A(0, 6) D (6, 0)
and E is the intersection of 2x1 + 3x2 = 18 and 2x1 + x2 = 12
For E, Solving, 2x1 + 3x2 = 18 …….(i)
2x1 + x2 = 12 ……(ii)
We get x1 = 4.5, x2 = 3
∴ E = (4.5, 3)

∴ Maximum value of z = 40.5 at E(4.5, 3)

For E, Solving 3x + 5y = 10
5x + 3y = 15
We get, x = $$\frac{45}{16}$$, y = $$\frac{5}{16}$$
∴ E($$\frac{45}{16}$$, $$\frac{5}{16}$$)

Since the maximum value of z = 20 at two points i.e, at A(0, 2) and E($$\frac{45}{16}$$, $$\frac{5}{16}$$).
z is maximum at all points on segment AE.
Hence it has infinite number of solutions.

E is x + 2y = 40 and 3x + 2y = 60
For E, Solving x + 2y = 40
3x + 2y = 60
We get, x = 10, y = 15
∴ E = (10, 15)

∴ Maximum value of z = 1350 at E(10, 15).

We get, x = $$\frac{28}{3}$$, y = $$\frac{8}{3}$$
∴ H($$\frac{28}{3}$$, $$\frac{8}{3}$$)

∴ z in maximum at (3, 9) and maximum profit = ₹ 2310.

Question 9.
A company manufactures bicycles and tricycles, each of which must be processed through two machines A and B Maximum availability of machines A and B are respectively 120 and 180 hours. Manufacturing a bicycle requires 6 hours on machine A and 3 hours on machine B manufacturing a tricycle requires 4 hours on machine A and 10 hours on machine B. If profits are ₹ 180 for a bicycle and ₹ 220 on a tricycle, determine the number of bicycles and tricycles that should be manufactured in order to maximize the profit.
Solution:
Let x number of bicycle and y number of tricycle has to be manufactured and to be sold to get the profit (z)
∴ x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Total profit = 180x + 220y.
The given LPP can be tabulated as follows:

For E, Solving x + 2y = 80 …….(i)
3x + y = 75 …….(ii)
We get, x = 14, y = 33
∴ E(14, 33)

∴ z is minimum at E(14, 33) and the minimum value of z = 254.
Hence 14 units of chemical A and 33 units of chemical B are produced to get a minimum cost of ₹ 254.

Question 11.

y = 0, x = 12, (12, 0)
5x + 2y = 50
x = 0, y = 25, (0, 25)
y = 0, x = 10, (10, 0)
Let 2x + 6y = 60, x + 3y = 30
x = 0, y = 10 (0, 10)
y = 0, x = 30 (30, 0)

The Shaded region OABCD is the feasible region.
O(0, 0) A (10, 0) D(0, 10)
B is the intersection of x + y = 12 and 5x + 2y = 50
Solving we get x = 8.67, y = 3.33
∴ B(8.67, 3.33)
C is the intersection of x + y = 12 and x + 3y = 30
Solving we get x = 3, y = 9
∴ C(3, 9)

∴ Maximum value of z is 330000 at C(3, 9)
Hence 3 mixers and 9 food processors should be produced to get a maximum profit of ₹ 33,000.

y = 0, x = 4, (4, 0)
12x + 2y = 24,
6x + y = 12
x = 0, y = 12, (0, 12)
y = 0, x = 2, (2, 0)
2x + 6y = 18
x + 3y = 9
x = 0, y = 3, (0, 3)
y = 0, x = 9, (9, 0)

The Shaded region ABCD is the feasible region.
A(0, 12) D(9, 0)

Solving we get x = 1, y = 6
∴ B(1, 6)
C is the intersection of 2x + y = 8 and x + 3y = 9
Solving we get x = 3, y = 2
∴ C(3, 2)

∴ The minimum value of z = 3680 at (3, 2)
Hence 3 unit of compound I and 2 units of compound II should be used to get the minimum cost of ₹ 3680.
