4. A manufacturer makes two types of toys A and B. Three machines are needed for this purpose and the time (in minutes) required for each toy on the machines is given below:
Types of toys | Machines | ||
I | II | III | |
A | 12 | 18 | 6 |
B | 6 | 0 | 9 |
Each machine is available for a maximum of 6 hours per day. If the profit on each toy of type A is Rs 7.50 and that on each toy of type B is Rs 5, show that 15 toys of type A and 30 of type B should be manufactured in a day to get maximum profit.
Let x and y toys of type A and type B.
Mathematical formulation of given problem is as follows:
Minimize :
Subject to constraint ,
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 | ||
150 | ||
250 | ||
262.5 | maximum | |
200 |
Therefore 262.5 may or may not be maximum value of Z .
Hence , Z has maximum value 262.5 at point
