    1. The postal department is considering the purchase of vehicles to pick


    up and deliver mail from various offices. They are considering three
    types of vehicles. The cost of each of these are ₹5 lakhs, ₹10 lakhs and
    ₹8 lakhs per vehicle, respectively. These require a crew of 2, 4 and 4
    persons per day considering multiple shifts. They expect these to run
    for 60,100 and 80km per day. They expect that the total distance to be
    covered by the vehicles per day would be 2000 km. based on the fuel
    economy, the operating cost per day for these vehicles are ₹200, ₹350
    and ₹300 per day. They have a budget restriction of ₹1.6 crore and
    have 80 people available as crew. Formulate a model to minimize the
    operating costs.

    2. G.J. Breweries Ltd have two bottling plants, one located at ‘G’ and the
    other at ‘J’. Each plant produces three drinks, whisky, beer and
    brandy named A, B and C respectively. The number of the bottles
    produced per day are shown in the table
    Drink Plant at
    G J
    Whisky 1,500 1,500
    Beer 3,000 1,000
    Brandy 2,000 5,000
    A market survey indicates that during the month of July, there will
    be a demand of 20,000 bottles of whisky, 40,000 bottles of beer and
    44,000 bottles of brandy. The operating cost per day for plants at G
    and J are 600 and 400 monetary units. For how many days each plant
    be run in July to minimize the production cost, while still meeting the
    market demand? Formulate this problem as an LP problem and solve
    that using graphical method.

    3. A company makes two kinds of leather belts, belt A and belt B. Belt A
    is a high quality belt and belt B is of lower quality. The respective
    profits are ₹ 4 and ₹ 3 per belt. The production of each of type A
    requires twice as much time as a belt of type B, and if all belts were of
    type B, the company could make 1,000 belts per day. The supply of
    leather is sufficient for only 800 belts per day (both A and B
    combined). Belt A requires a fancy buckle and only 400 of these are
    available per day. There are only 700 buckles a day available for belt
    B. What should be the daily production of each type of belt?
    Formulate this problem as an LP model and solve it using the
    simplex method.

    4. ABC Printing Company is facing a tight financial squeeze and is


    attempting to cut costs wherever possible. At present it has only one
    printing contract, and luckily, the book is selling well in both the
    hardcover and the paperback editions. It has just received a request
    to print more copies of this book in either the hardcover or the
    paperback form. The printing cost for the hardcover books is ₹ 600
    per 100 books while that for paperback is only ₹ 500 per 100.
    Although the company is attempting to economize, it does not wish
    to lay off any employee. Therefore, it feels obliged to run its two
    printing presses – I and II, at least 80 and 60 hours per week,
    respectively. Press I can produce 100 hardcover books in 2 hours or
    100 paperback books in 1 hour. Press II can produce 100 hardcover
    books in 1 hour or 100 paperbacks books in 2 hours. Determine how
    many books of each type should be printed in order to minimize
    costs.
    5. Solve the following LP problem.
    Maximize Z = 3x1 + 5x2
    subject to the constraints
    (i) x1 – 2x2 ≤ 6,
    (ii) x1 ≤ 10,
    (iii) x2 ≥ 1

    and x1, x2 ≥ 0

    6. Solve the following LP problem


    Maximize Z = 6x1 + 4x2
    subject to the constraints
    (i) x1 + x2 ≤ 5,
    (ii) x2 ≥ 8
    and x1, x2 ≥ 0.
    7. A firm manufactures two products A and B on machines I and II as
    shown below:

    Machine Product Available


    A B
    Hours
    I 30 20 300
    II 5 10 110
    Profit per unit (₹) 6 8
    The total time available is 300 hours and 110 hours on machines I and
    II, respectively. Products A and B contribute a profit of ₹ 6 and ₹ 8
    per unit, respectively. Determine the optimum product mix. Write
    the dual of this LP problem and give its economic interpretation.
