Exercise-6

1. Consider the LPP

Max z = 3x1 + 2 x2 + 5 x3
s/t x1 + 2 x2 + x3 ≤ 430, 3x1 + 2 x3 ≤ 460, x1 + 4 x2 ≤ 420, x1 , x2 , x3 ≥ 0.
Given that x2 , x3 , x6 (slack variable corresponding to constraint 3) form the optimal basis
and inverse of the optimal basis is, row-wise; ½, -1/4, 0; 0, ½ 0; -2, 1, 1. Form the
optimal table based on this information.

2. In problem 1, find the optimal solution if the objective function is changed to


(i) z = 4 x1 + 2 x2 + x3 (ii) z = 3x2 + x3

3. In problem 1, a fourth variable is added with the technological (constraint) coefficients as 3,


2 and 4. Determine the optimal solution if the profit per unit of the new variable is given as 5
and 10.

4. Solve this problem using big M-method.


Max z = 5 x1 + 2 x2 + 3x3 s/t x1 + 5 x2 + 3x3 = 30, x1 − 5 x2 − 6 x3 ≤ 40, all vari ≥ 0.

5. In problem 4, find the optimal solution, using sensitivity analysis if the objective function is
changed to
(i) Max z = 12 x1 + 5x2 + 2 x3 (ii) Min z = 2 x2 − 5x3

6. In problem 4, suppose that the technological coefficients of x2 are (5 − a, −5 + a) instead of


(5, - 5), where a is a nonnegative parameter. Find the value of a so that the solution remains
optimal.

7. In problem 4, suppose that the right hand side of the constraint becomes (30 + a , 40 – a ),
a is nonnegative parameter. Determine the values of a so that the solution of the problem
remain optimal.

8. Solve the LPP: Minimize z = -x1 + x2 + x3


Subject to –2 x1 + x2 + x3 ≥ 2, x1 – 2 x2 + 2 x3 = 2, x1, x2, x3 ≥ 0
by Big M method. Find the optimal solution of the changed LPP obtained from the above
LPP by employing the following (using the concepts of sensitivity analysis):

(a) Changing the RHS of second constraint to 8.


(b) Add the constraint x1 + x2 + x3 ≤ 1.
(c) The cost c1 of x1 is changed from -1 to -3.
(d) Add the constraint x1 + x2 + x3 ≥ 4.
(f) Add the variable x4 with cost -2 and column (2, -1)T
10. (i) Consider the problem Max z = − x1 + 2 x2 − x3 subject to x1 + 2 x2 − 2 x3 ≤ 4 ,
x1 − x3 ≤ 3 , 2 x1 − x2 + 2 x3 ≤ 2 , x1 , x2 , x3 ≥ 0 .
The optimal table of the above LPP is:

B.V x1 x2 x3 s1 s2 s3 Solution
Z 9/2 0 0 3/2 0 1 8
x2 3 1 0 1 0 1 6
s2 7/2 0 0 ½ 1 1 7
x3 5/2 0 1 ½ 0 1 4

(a) Find the range of the cost coefficient c 2 of variable x 2 such that present solution remains
optimal.
(b) If the RHS of the original problem is changed to (5,4,1) then find the optimal solution.
(c) Find the range of b2 (RHS of second constraint) so that the present solution remains
optimal.
(d) Find the optimal solution after adding a new constraint 3x1 − x2 ≥ 1.
