SECTION _ II

5. a) A rnanufacturer produces three models of a certain product. He uses t\ 11

types of raw material (A and B) of which 4OOO and 6000 units respectively
are available. The raw materials requirements per unit of three models are
as follows :

Raw material Requirement per unit of model \

llt ilt

A 2 3 5
B 4 2 7 \J

The labor time of each unit of model I is twice that of model ll and three
times that of model llt. The entire labour force of the factory can produce
equivalent of 2500 units of model l. A market survey indicates that the
minimum demand of the three models is 500,500 and 375 units respectively.
However, the ratios of number of units produced must be equat to 3:2:5.
Assume that the profit per unit of models t, ll and lll are Rs. 60, Rs. 40 and
Rs. 100 respectively.
Formulate the problem as LPP to determine number of units of each model
to maximise profit.
