Question 14. [2x5 = 10] Q 100 120 100

(a) A company produces 2 types of items P and Q.
Manufacturing of both items requires The metals gold and
copper. Each unit of item P requires 3 gms of gold and 1 gm of
copper while that of item Q requires 1 gm of gold and 2 gms of
copper. The company has 9 gms of gold and 8 gms of copper in
its store. If each unit of item P makes a profit of Rs. 50/- and
each unit of item Q makes a profit of Rs. 60/-, determine the
number of units of each item that the company should produce
to maximize the profit. What is the maximum profit?
How many units should be transported from each factory to
each depot in order that the transportation coast is minimum?
(b) Ajay holds bills of Rs. 10000/- and Rs. 12000/- which are
legally due on March 15, 2007 and April 1, 2007 respectively.
Both the bills are presented to a broker for discounting on
January 1. If the difference between two discounts is Rs. 96,
find the rates at which the discounts are calculated.

(b) A retired person wants to invest an amount upto Rs.

20000/-. His broker recommends investing in two types of
bonds A and B, bond A yielding 10% return on the amount
invested and bond B yielding 15% return on the amount
invested. After some consideration, he decides to invest atleast
Rs. 5000/- in bond A and no more than Rs. 8000/- in bon B. He
also wants to invest atleast as much in bond A as in bond B.
Formulate an L.P.P. to maximize his return on investments.
