Practicing Success
A manufacturing company makes two models $\mathrm{M}_1$ and $\mathrm{M}_2$ of a product. Each piece of $\mathrm{M}_1$ requires 9 labour hours for fabricating and one labour hour for finishing. Each piece of $\mathrm{M}_2$ require 12 labour hours for fabricating and 3 labour hours for finishing. For fabricating and finishing, the maximum labour hours available are 180 and 30 respectively. The company makes a profit of Rs. 800 on each piece of $\mathrm{M}_1$ and Rs. 1200 on each piece of $\mathrm{M}_2$ The maximum profit will be at the point |

Z = 800x + 1200y Constraints $3 x+4 y \leq 60$ $x+3 y \leq 30$ $x_1 y \geq 0$ → solution in first quadrant first plotting 3x + 4y =60
x + 3y = 30
for 3x + 4y ≤ 60 checking for O(0, 0) ⇒ 0 ≤ 60 ⇒ solution lies to side of 3x + 4y = 60 containing (0, 0) for x + 3y ≤ 30 checking for O(0, 0) ⇒ 0 ≤ 30 ⇒ solution lies to side of x + 3y = 30 containing (0, 0) Corner points obtained checking A(0, 10) Z(x, y) = 800x + 1200y for points B(12, 6) Z(10, 0) = 12000 C(20, 0) Z(12, 6) = 16800 D(0, 0) Z(20, 0) = 16000 Z(0, 0) = 0 Maximum profit is at point = (12, 6) |
