(Qa) FORMULATE THE PROBLEM ACCOMMODATING OBJECTIVE AND CONSTRAINT EQUATION?

OBJECTIVE EQUATION

Z=4 x 1 +3 x 2

CONSTRAINT EQUATION
3 x 1+ 4 x 2 ≤ 12

4 x1 +2 x 2 ≤ 8

x 1+ x2 ≤3

x 1∧x 2 ≥ 0

(Qb) FIND THE DESIRABLE VALUES OF PETROLEUM NAPHTHA AND ASPHALT LIQUID VARIABLES THAT SATISFY THE
CONSTRAINT EQUATION. CODE THIS SOLUTION IN MATLAB WITHOUT USING LINPROG COMMAND. SHOULD USE POLYVAL
AND POLYFIT COMMANDS.

(Qc) PART B - USE THE ABOVE SOLUTION TO VALIDATE THE SOLUTION OF Qb

The solution from Matlab OPTMIZATION program is

x 1=1

x 2=2

S1=1

Z=10

This solution can be verified with the Curve obtained by using Polyval & Polyfit function, since MATLAB doesn’t have built-
in function to obtain Lines intersect points and the feasible intersect point has been obtained graphically.

VERIFICATION
OBJECTIVE EQUATION

4 x1 +3 x 2

4 ( 1 )+ 3 ( 2 ) =10

CONSTRAINT EQUATION
3(1)+4 (2)≤ 12
4 (1)+2(2)≤ 8
1+2 ≤3

Hence, the found optimal solution is correct

And also, it has been verified by using Analytical method i.e

CONSTRAINT EQUATION
3 x 1+ 4 x 2 ≤ 12

4 x1 +2 x 2 ≤ 8

x 1+ x2 ≤3

As per given question we can Ignore the inequality in the constraint equations, such that
3 x 1+ 4 x 2=12 → ( 1 )

4 x1 +2 x 2=8 → ( 2 )

x 1+ x2=3→ ( 3 )

Re writing the above 1, 2 & 3 equations in the form of y=mx+c

3 x+ 4 y 1=12

4 x+2 y 2=8

x + y 3=3

By applying y 1= y 2, y 2= y 3, y 3= y 1 ,We will get feasible intersect point as (1,2)
