TEST PAPER(LINEAR INEQALITY)

1. A firm makes two types of products: Type P and Type Q. The profit on product P is Rs. 30 each and
that on product Q. is Rs. 50 each. Both types are processed on three machines X 1, X2 and X3. The
time required in hours by each product and total time available in hours per week on each machine
are as follows:

Machine Product P Product Q Available Time

X1 3 2 26
X2 5 4 50
X3 6 7 60

The constraints can be formulated by taking x = Number of unit P and y = Number of unit Q

(a) 3 x+ 2 y ≤ 26 (b) 3 x+ 2 y ≤ 26
5 x+ 4 y ≤50 5 x+ 4 y ≤506 x +7 y ≤ 60
6 x +7 y ≤ 60 x +≥ 0; y ≤ 0
x +≥ 0; y ≥ 0

(c) 3 x+ 2 y ≤ 26 None of these

5 x+ 4 y ≤50
6 x +7 y ≤ 60
x +≥ 0; y ≤ 0
2. A
man
makes two type of furniture: chairs and tables, Profit are Rs. 30 per chair and Rs. 40 per table. Both
the products are processed on two machines X 1 and X2. The time required for each product in hours
and total available time in hours for each machine are as follows:

Machine Product P Product Q Available Time

X1 3 2 26
X2 5 4 50
Constraints can be formulated by taking x = the numbers of chairs and y = the number f tables
produced as:

(c) 5 x +6 y ≥50
x ≥0 ; y ≥ 0
(d) None of these

4. Suppose a men needs a minimum of 50 units of carbohydrates and 30 units of proteins per month
for good health. He is taking food at two places viz M and N. Food at M contains 4 and 6 units of
carbohydrates and proteins respectively Food at N contains 3 units of carbohydrates and 3 units of
proteins respectively. Express this in the form of a linear inequality assuming the man is keeping
good health.
[Hint: Let x and y represents carbohydrates and proteins respectively].

5. Vitamins M and N are found in food X1 and X2 One unit of X1 contains 10 units of vitamin M and 30
units of vitamin N. one unit of food X2 contains 40 units of M and 60 units of N. Cost per units of X1
and X2 are Rs. 3 and Rs. 4 respectively. The minimum daily requirement of vitamin M and N is 100
and 120 units respectively. Problem is to determine the mixture of food X1 and X2, which meets the
requirement at minimum cost by assuming that x unit of food X1 and y unit of food X2 are required
to fulfill the need of vitamins. The constraints are:

10 x+60 y ≤100 10 x+60 y ≥ 100

(a) 30 x + 40 y ≤ 120
x ≥ 0; y ≥ 0 {
