Question

A cottage industry manufactures pedestal lamps and wooden shades, each requiring the use of a grinding / cutting machine and a sprayer. It takes 2 h on grinding / cutting machine and 3 h on the sprayer to manufacture a pedestal lamp. It takes 1 h on the grinding / cutting machine and 2 h on the sprayer to Manufacture a shade. On any day, the sprayer is available for at the most 20 h and the grinding / cutting machine for at most 12 h. The profit from the sale of a lamp is Rs. 5 and that from a shades is Rs. 3. Assuming that the manufacture can sell all the lamps and shades that he produce, how should he schedule his daily production in order to maximize his profit?

Solution

Let the manufacturer produces x pedestal lamps and y wooden shades everyday. We construct the following table :

$\begin{matrix} I t e m & N u m b e r & T i m e o n g r i n d i n g & T i m e o n & P r o f i t c u t t i n g m a c h i n e (i n h) & s p r a y e r (i n h) & (i n R s .) A & x & 2 x & 3 x & 5 x B & y & y & 2 y & 3 y T o t a l & x + y & 2 x + y & 3 x + 2 y & 5 x + 3 y A v a i l a b i l i t y & 12 & 20 \end{matrix}$

The profit on a lamp is Rs. 5 and on the shades is Rs. 3

Our problem is to maximize Z = 5x + 3y .......(i)

Subject to the constraints 2x + y $\leq$ 12 ......(ii)

3x + 2y $\leq$ 20 .......(iii)

$x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ .....(iv)

Firstly, draw the graph of the line 2x + y = 12

$\begin{matrix} x & 0 & 6 y & 12 & 0 \end{matrix}$

Putting (0, 0) in the inequality $2 x + y \leq 12$ , we have $2 \times 0 + 0 \leq 12 \Rightarrow 0 \leq 12$ (which is true)

So, the half plane is towards the origin, Since, $x, y \geq 0$

So, the feasible region lies in the first quadrant. Secondly, draw the graph of the line $3 x + 2 y = 20$

$\begin{matrix} x & 0 & \frac{20}{3} = 6.6 y & 10 & 0 \end{matrix}$

Putting (0, 0) in the inequality $3 x + 2 y \leq 20$ , we have

$3 \times 0 + 2 \times 0 \leq 20 \Rightarrow 0 \leq 20$ (which is true)

So, the half plane is towards the origin.

On solving equations $2 x + y = 12 a n d 3 x + 2 y = 20$ , we get B(4, 4).

$∴$ Feasible region is OABCO.

The corner points of the feasible region are O(0, 0), A(6, 0), B(4, 4) and C(0, 10). The values of Z at these points are as follows :

$\begin{matrix} C o r n e r p o i n t & Z = 5 x + 3 y 0 (0, 0) & 0 A (6, 0) & 30 B (4, 4) & 32 \to M a x i m u m C (0, 10) & 30 \end{matrix}$

The maximum value of Z is Rs. 32 at B(4, 4).

Thus, the manufacturer should produce 4 pedestal lamps and 4 wooden shades to maximize his profits.

Q. A factory manufactures two types of screws, A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines - an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minute on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a package of screws 'A', while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a package of screws 'B'. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a package of screws 'A' at a profit of 70 P and screws 'B' at a profit of Rs 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he can manufacture, how many packages of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Determine the maximum profit.
