Two models of a product - Regular (x) and Delux (y) are produced by a company. A linear programming model is used to determine the production schedule. The formulation is as follows:
Maximize profit :50x+60y
Subject to : 8x+10y800 (labour laws)
x+y 120 (total units demanded)
4x+5y500(raw materials)
All variables
The optimal solution is x=100, y=0
How many units of the labour hours must be used to produce this number of units?
400
200
500
None of the above
As we learnt in
Corner Point Method -
This method of solving a LPP graphically is based on the principle of extreme points theorem.
-
at
800 units of the labour hours.
