Q.2 A garment manufacturer has production line making two styles of shirts. Style 1 require 200 grams
of cotton thread, 300 grams of dacron thread, and 300 grams of liner thread. Style II require 200 grams
of cotton thread, 200 grams of dacron thread and 100 gram of liner thread. The manufacturer make the
net profit of Rs. 19.50 on Style I ,Rs. 15.90 on Style II. He has in hand inventory of 24kg. of cotton
thread ,26kg of dacron thread, and 22 kg of liner thread. His immediate problem is to determine the
production schedule given the current inventory to make a maximum profit. Formulate the LPP Model
Ans:
Calculation of contribution per unit of product ‘L’ and product ‘P’
Calculation of Maximum hours and hours per unit
Let, x1 = Number of units of Product L to be produced

x2 = Number of units of Product P to be produced.
Since the objective is to maximise contribution per product, the objective function
is given by —
Maximise (Total contribution)
Z = 100x1 + 115x2
Subject to the constraints:
8x1 + 10x2 ≤ 800 (Maximum hours of Deptt. 1 constraints)
x1 ≥ 0, x2 ≥ 0 (Non-negativity constraints)
Q.6 A company make two kinds of leather belts. Belt A is a high quality belt, and belt B is of low
quality. The respective profits are Rs 40 and Rs 30 per belt. Each belt of type A requires twice as
much time as a belt of type B, and if all belts were of type B, the company could make 1000 per
day. The supply of leather is sufficient for only 800 belts per day (both A & B combined). But
Belt A requires a fancy buckle & only 400 per day are available. T here are only 700 buckles a
day available for belt B. What should be the daily production of each type of belt? Formulate
the LPP.
Ans: We observe that F2W2 = 8, which is the minimum transportation cost and allocate 120 units to it.
The demand for the second column is satisfied.
Long answer question
1 A company has two grades of inspectors 1 and 2, who are to be assigned for a quality control
inspection. It is required that at least 2,000 pieces be inspected per 8 hour day. Grade 1
inspector can check pieces at the rate of 40 per hour, with an accuracy of 97 per cent. Grade 2
inspector checks at the rate of 30 pieces per hour with an accuracy of 95 per cent. The wage
rate of a Grade 1 inspector is Rs 5 per hour while that of a Grade 2 inspector is Rs 4 per hour.
An error made by an inspector costs Rs 3 to the company. There are only nine Grade 1
inspectors and eleven Grade 2 inspectors available in the company. The company wishes to
assign work to the available inspectors so as to minimize the total cost of the inspection.
Formulate this problem as an LP model so as to minimize daily inspection cost.
ANS:
Solution
Verified by Toppr
Formulation of L.P model:

Let x1 and x2 denote the number of gradeI and gradeII inspectors that may be
assigned the job of quality control inspection.
The objective is to minimize the daily cost of inspection.Now the company has to
incur two types of costs:wages paid to the inspectors and the cost of their inspection
errors.The cost of a grade I inspector/hour is
Rs.(5+3×0.04×20)=Rs.7.40
Similarly,cost of a gradeII inspector/hour is
Rs.(4+3×0.08×14)=Rs.7.36.
∴ The objective function is
minimize Z=8(7.40x1+7.36x2)=59.20x1+58.88x2.
Constraints are
on the number of gradeI inspectors:=x1≤10,
on the number of gradeII inspectors:=x2≤15,
on the number of pieces to be inspected daily:20×8x1+14×8x2≥2000
or 160x1+112x2≥2000
where x1,x2≥0
Q.4 A tape recorder company manufacturers models A, B and C which have profit contributions per unit
of Rs 15, Rs 40 and RS 60, respectively. The weekly minimum production requirements are 25 units for
model. A, 130 units for model B and 55 units for model C. Each type of recorder requires a certain
amount of time for the manufacturing of component parts, for assembling and for packing. Specifically a
dozen units of model A require 4 hours for manufacturing, 3 hours for assembling and 1 hour for
packaging. The corresponding figures for a dozen units of model B are 2.5, 4 and 2 and for a dozen units
of model C are 6, 9 and 4. During the forthcoming week, the company has available 130 hours of
manufacturing, 170 hours of assembling and 52 hours of packaging time. Formulate this problem as an
LP model so as to maximise total profit to the company.
An advertising co. wishes to plan an advertising campaign in three different media television , radio ,
magazine . The purpose of advertising is to reach as many potential customers as possible . Results of
market study are as given below T.V. Prime day TV prime time Radio magazi ne Cost of an advertising
unit 40000 75000 30000 15000 No of potential customers reached per unit 400000 900000 500000
200000 No of woman customers reached per unit 300000 400000 200000 100000 The co. does not want
to spend more than Rs.8,00,000 on advertising. It is further require that (!) at least 2 million exposures
take place among women . (!!) advertising on television be limited to Rs. 5,00,000 (!!!) at least
advertising unit be brought on prime day and two units on prime time; (!V) the no. of advertising units
on radio and magazine should each be between 5 and 10. Formulate this problem as a lp model to
maximise customer reach
Solution: Let x1, x2, x3, and x4 be the number of advertising units bought in
daytime television, prime-time television, radio, and magazines,
respectively.
The total number of potential customers reached (in thousands)
= 400x1 + 900x2 + 500x3 + 200 x4. The restriction on the advertising
budget is represented by:
40,000x1 + 75,000x2 + 30,000x3 + 15,000x4 ≦ 800,000.
The constraint on the number of women customers reached by the
advertising campaign becomes:
300,000x1 + 400,000x2 + 200,000x3 + 100,000x4 ≧ 2,00,000.
The constraints on television advertising are:
40,000x1 + 75,000x2 ≦ 500,000
x1 ≧ 3
x2 ≧ 2.
Since advertising units on radio and magazines should each be between5
and 10, one gets the following constraints:
5 ≦ x3 ≦ 10
5 ≦ x4 ≦ 10.
The complete linear programming problem with some minor simplification
is given below:
Maximize: Z = 400x1 + 900x2 + 500x3 + 200x4
Subject to: 40x1 + 75x2 + 30x3 + 15x4 ≦ 800
30x1 + 40x2 + 20x3 + 10x4 ≧ 200
40x1 + 75x2 ≦ 500
x1 ≧ 3
x2 ≧ 2
x3 ≧ 5
x3 ≦ 10
x4 ≧ 5
x4 ≦ 10.
