Question2. a. Discuss any four applications of linear programming.
- An organisation produces X1 and X2 units of products R and S, respectively. In this case, the objective function and constraints are expressed as follows:
Maximise Z = 60X1 + 120X2
Subject to, 3X1 + 6X2 ≤ 240 Raw material constraint
2X1 + 4X2 ≤ 800 Labour hours constraint
X1, X2 ≥ 0 Non-negativity condition
Use graphical method to determine how many units of products R and S the organisation should produce to maximise its profits.
Answer 2(b) – Here,
We have to
