 A firm manufactures headache pills in two size A and B . Size contains 2 grains of aspirin , 5 grains of bicarbonate and 1 grain of codeine. Size B contain 1 grains of aspirin , 8 grain of bicarbonate and 6 grain of codeine . It is found by user that it requires at least 12 grains of aspirin 74 grain of bicarbonate , 24 grains of codeine for providing immediate effect. It is required to determine the least number of pills a patient should take to get immediate relief formulated the problem as a standard LPP.  Old hens can be brought for rs 2 each but young one cost rs 5 each the old hen lay three eggs per week and the young one 5 egg per week each being worth 30paise a hen cost rs 1 per week to feed. If I have only rs 8o to spent for hens , how many of each kind should I buy to give a profit of more than rs 6 per week , assuming that I cannot house more than 20 hen? Write a mathematical model of the above problem. You need to solve the problem.  Consider a small plant which makes 2 types of automobile parts , say A and B . if buys casting that are machined, bored and polished . the capacity of machining is 25 per hour for A and 40 per hour for B, capacity of boring is 28 per hour for A and 35 per hour for B and the capacity of polishing is 35 per hour for A and 25 hour for B. casting for part A cost rupee 2 each and for part B they cost rupees 3 each . they sell for rs 5/and rs 6/- respectively the 3 machine have running cost of rupess 20 , 14 and 17.5 per hours assuming that any combination of part A and B can be sold what product mix maximize profit ?  A ship is to carry 3 types of liquid cargo, X,Y and Z . there are 3000 liter of X available , 2000 liter of y available and 1500 litres of z available, Each Litres of X,Y and Z fetches a profit of rs 30 rs 35 rs andrs 40 respectively. The ship has 3 holds- A,B and C of capacities 2000, 2500, and 3000 litre respectively, from stability consideration , it is required that each hold be filled in the same proportion in the same proportion, formulate the problem of loading the ship as a linear programming problem. State clearly what are the decision variable and constraints.  Mr. krishanmurty , a retired govt, officer has received his retirement benefits, viz provident fund , gratu  Mr. Krishnamurty, a retaired Govt. officer, has received his retirement benefits, viz, provident fund, gratuity, etc. He is contemplating as to how much funds he should invest in various alternatives open to him so as to maximize return on investment. The investment alternatives are- govemment securities, fixed deposits of a public limited company, equity shares, deposits in bank, National Savings Certificates and real estate. He has made a subjective estimate of the risk involved on a five-point scale. The data on the return on investment and the subjective risk involved are as follows : Return 6% 15% 20% 10% no. of years 15 3 6 3 risk 1 3 7 1

He was wondering what percentage of funds he should invest in each alternative so as to maximize the return on investment. He decided that the average risk should not be more then 4, and funds should not be locked up for more than 15 years. He would necessarily invest at least 30% in real estate. Formula te an LP model for the problem.  An oil company produce two grades of gasoline P and Q which are sold at rs. 18 and rs 21 per gallon. The refinery can buy 4 different crudes with the following analysis and cost : Composition price per gallon in rs. Crude A B C 1 0.80 0.10 0.10 14 2 0.30 0.30 0.40 10 3 0.70 0.10 0.20 15 4 0.40 0.50 0.10 12 The rs. 21 grade must have at least 60% of A and not more than 30% of C. The rs 18 grade must not have more than 30% of C. In the blending process 2% of A and 1% of B and C are lost because of evaporation. Formula the problem with a view to determine the relative amounts of crudes to be mixed so that the profit is maximized.  A manufacturing of furniture makes two products: chair and tables. Processing of these products is done on two machines A and B. A chair required 2 hrs. on machine A and 6hrs. no machine B. A table requires 5hrs. on machine A and no time on time on machine B. There are 16 hrs. of time per day available on machine A and 30 hrs. on machine B. Profit gained by the manufacturer from a chair and a table is rs. 2 and rs. 10 respectively. What should be the daily production of each of the two products?  A company makes two kinds of leather belts. Belt A is a high quality belt, and belt B of lower quality. The respective profits are rs 4 and rs 3 per belt. Each belt of type A requires twice as much time as a belt of type B, and if all belt were of type B, the company could make 1000 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 per day are available. There are only 700 buckles a day available for belt B. Determine the optimal product mix.  A company is manufacturing products Y and Z. One unit of product Y requires 4.8 minutes of machining and 10 minutes of assembly time. The profit for product Y is re .70 per unit. Product Z requires 6 minutes of machining time and 5 minutes of welding time for manufacturing one unit. Profit for Z is re 0.90 per unit. The capacity of the machining deptt. Available for these products is 1400 minutes per week. The welding deptt. Has an idle capacity of 800 minutes/week and assembly deptt. has 1800 minutes/week. Determine the quantities of Y and Z so that total profit is maximized.
