7. A company manufactures two types of novelty souvenirs made of plywood. Souvenirs of type A require 5 minutes each for cutting and 10 minutes each for assembling. Souvenirs of type B require 8 minutes each for cutting and 8 minutes each for assembling. There are 3 hours 20 minutes available for cutting and 4 hours for assembling. The profit is Rs 5 each for type A and Rs 6 each for type B souvenirs. How many souvenirs of each type should the company manufacture in order to maximise the profit?
Let x be Souvenirs of type A and y be Souvenirs of type B .Thus, .
The given information can be represented in table as :
Type A | Type B | availability | |
cutting | 5 | 8 | |
asembling | 10 | 8 | |
Profit on type A Souvenirs is Rs. 5 and on type B Souvenirs is 6.
Therefore, constraint are
The feasible region determined by constraints is as follows:
The corner points of feasible region are
The value of Z at corner points is as shown :
Corner points | ||
120 | ||
160 | maximum | |
150 | ||
0 |
The maximum value of z is 160 at .
Thus,8 Souvenirs of type A and 20 Souvenirs of type B should be manufactured everyday to get maximum profit.
