Formulation - Practice 3

• A electronic manufacturer makes two products: smartphone and

tablets . These products are processed using two machines – A and B.
A smartphone requires 2 hours on machine A and 6 hours on machine
B. A tablet requires 5 hours on machine A and no time on machine B.
There are 16 hours per day available on machine A and 30 hours on
machine B. The profit gained by the manufacturer from a smartphone
is Rs 2 and from a tablet is Rs 10. Solve this problem to find the daily
production of each of the two products.
Practice 4
• A diet for a healthy person must contain at least 5,000 units of
vitamins, 40 units of minerals and 1,200 calories. Two foods A and B
are available at a cost of Rs. 5 and Rs. 8 per unit, respectively. If one of
A contains 200 units of vitamins, 1 unit of mineral and 40 calories and
one unit of food B contains 100 units of vitamins, 2 units of minerals
and 40 calories. Formulate this problem as an LP model? and find
combination of foods to be used to have least cost?
