10. Yadu sells two types of models A and B. The margin of profit on A is about 5 paisa per
packet and that of B is 7 paisa per packet. On an average, Yadu sells no more than 500
packets of both of models a day. Although A is a better recognized name, costumers tend to
buy more of the B because it is considerably chapter. It is estimated that the B outsells the A
by a ratio of at least 2:1. However, Yadu sells at least 100 packets of A per day. How many
packets of each model should Yadu carry daily to maximize the profit? Formulate the
problem as a linear programming problem.

18. RMC, Inc., is a small firm that produces a variety of chemical products. In a particular
production process, three raw materials are blended (mixed together) to produce two
products: a fuel additive and a solvent base. Each ton of fuel additive is a mixture of 2/5
ton of material 1, 1/5 ton of material 2, and 3/10 ton of material 3. After deducting
relevant costs, the profit contribution is Rs. 40 for every ton of fuel additive produced
and Rs. 30 for every ton of solvent base produced.
Raw Material Amount Available for Production
Material 1 20 tons
Material 2 5 tons
Material 3 21 tons
RMC's production is constraints by limited availability of three raw materials. For the
current production period, RMC has available the following quantities of each raw
material:
 a) What is the linear programming model for this problem?
b) Find the optimal solution using the graphical solution procedure. How many tons of
each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution?
c) Is there any unused material? If so, how much?
d) Are any of the constraints redundant? If so, which ones?
19. A 52 year old client asks and accountant how to plan for his future retirement at age 62.
He expects income from social security in the amount of Rs. 21600 per year and a
retirement pension of Rs. 40500 per year from his employer. He wants to make monthly
contributions to an investment plan that pays 8%, compounded monthly, for 10 years so
that he will have a total income of Rs. 83700 per year for 30 years. What will the size of
the monthly contributions have to be to accomplish this goal, if it is assumed that money
will be worth 8%, compounded continuously, throughout the period after he is 62?
a) How much money must the client withdraw annually from his investment plan
during his retirement so that his total income goal is met?
b) How much money S must the client's account contain when he is 62 so that it will
generate this annual amount for 30 years
