Question
What will be the minimum cost?
✓
Answer
We have minimize z = 400x + 200y, subject to
$5\text{x}+2\text{y}\geq30$
$2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq15$
$\text{x}\leq\text{y}$
$\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$
These inequalities are plotted as shown in the adjucent figure.
From the figure shaded region is bounded with the corner points $\text{A}\Big(\frac{30}{7},\frac{30}{7}\Big),$ B(5, 5) and C(0, 15).
| Corner points | Corresponding value of Z = 400x + 200 |
| $(0, 15)$ | $3000$ |
| $(5,5)$ | $3000$ |
| $\Big(\frac{30}{7},\frac{30}{7}\Big)$ | $400\times\frac{30}{7}+200\times\frac{30}{7}=\frac{18000}{7}=2571.43$ (Minimum) |

A fruit grower can use two types of fertilizer in his garden, brand P and brand Q. The amounts (in kg) of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, and chlorine in a bag of each brand are given in the table. Tests indicate that the garden needs at least 240 kg of phosphoric acid, at least 270 kg of potash and at most 310 kg of chlorine.
If the grower wants to minimise the amount of nitrogen added to the garden, how many bags of each brand should be used? What is the minimum amount of nitrogen added in the garden?

→A company manufactures two articles A and B. There are two departments through which these articles are processed: (i) assembly and (ii) finishing departments. The maximum capacity of the first department is 60 hours a week and that of other department is 48 hours per week. The product of each unit of article A requires 4 hours in assembly and 2 hours in finishing and that of each unit of B requires 2 hours in assembly and 4 hours in finishing.
