Question

Refer to question 11. How many of circuits of type A and of type B, should be produced by the manufacturer, so as to maximise his profit? Determine the maximum profit.

Step-by-step Solution

Referring to Solution 11 , We have the following conditions as per the question,
Maximise $Z = 50x + 60y$,

subject to
$2x + y \le 20,$ $x + 2y \le 12,$ $x + 3y \le 15,$ $x \ge 0,$ $y \ge 0$

figure

From the shaded region it is clear that the feasible region determined by the system of constraints is OABCD and is bounded and the coordinates of corner points are (0,0),

$(10,0),\left( {\frac{{28}}{3},\frac{4}{3}} \right)$,(6,3) and (0,5), respectively.

[since, $x + 2y = 12$ and $2x + y = 20 \Rightarrow x = \frac{{28}}{3},y = \frac{4}{3}$ and $x + 3y = 15$ and $x + 2y = 12 \Rightarrow y = 3$ and $x = 6$]

Since, the manufacturer is required to produce two types of
circuits A and B and it is clear that parts of resistor, transistor and capacitor cannot be in fraction, so the required maximum profit is 480 where circuits of type A is 6 and circuits of type B is 3.
