Tutorial Week 3


Question 1

Given the following linear programming problem,
Maximize, Z = 4x + 3y
Subject to
4x + 2y <= 120
2x + 2y <= 80
X, Y >= 0
Solve the problem graphically.



Question 2

PKG Elektrik makes two types of electric fans, celing fan and wall fans. Each ceiling fan
requires two circuit boards and fours hours assembly time. Each wall fan requires two circuit
boards and one hour assembly time. The profit of each ceiling fan and wall fan are RM25 and
RM15 respectively. The company produces its own circuit boards and its capacity is 54 week.
Currently, the company has 48 hours of assembly time per week. The company wishes to
maximize the profit.

Formulate the problem as a linear programming model.
What is the maximum profit ?


Additional info
The demand for the wall fans is at most 12 units per week. What is affected ?


Question 3

Minimize the cost for the given function , C = 4X + 5Y, subject to the constraints below

2X + 3Y <= 50
4X + Y >= 20
X, Y >= 0

Find the optimal solution.
