Q5. (a) A factory has three machines A, B and C producing 1500, 2500 and
3000 bulbs per day respectively. Machine A produces 1.5% defective bulbs,
machine B produces 2% defective bulbs and machine C produces 2.5%
defective bulbs. At the end of the day, a bulb is drawn at random and it is found
to be defective. What is the probability that this defective bulb has been produced
by machine B?. [4]

produce 50%, 25% and 25% respectively, of the total output of electric bulbs. It is
known that 4% of the bulbs produced by each machines E1 and E2 are defective
and that 5% of those produced by machine E3 are defective. If one bulb is picked
up at random from a day's production, calculate the probability that it is defective

Q14. A company manufactures two types of products A and B.
Each unit of A requires 3 grams of nickel and1 gram of chromium,
while each unit of B requires1 gram of nickel and 2 grams of
chromium. The firm can produce 9 grams of nickel and 8 grams of
chromium. The profit is Rs.40 on each unit of product of type A
and Rs.50 on each unit of type B. How many units of each type
should the company manufacture so as to earn maximum profit?
Use linear programming to find the solution. [4]
