3 (a) Solve the following problem by Simplex Method: Zmax=2xi+3x2.
Subjected to: x1+x2≤10; 2x1+3x2≤5; x1x2≥10. (5 marks)
3 (b) A firm manufactures three products A, B and C, Time to manufacture product A is twice that for B and thrice that for C and theyare to be produced in the ratio 3:4:5. The relevant data is given in the following table:
Raw Material | Requirement per unit of product (kg) | Total Availability (kg) | ||
A | B | C | ||
P | 6 | 5 | 9 | 5,000 |
Q | 4 | 7 | 8 | 6,000 |
If the entire labour is engaged in manufacturing product A, 1,600 unit of this product can be produced. There is demand for at least 300, 250 and 200 units of product A, B and C and the profit earned per unit is Rs. 50, Rs. 40 and Rs. 70 respectively.
Formulate the problem as Linear Programming problem. (10 marks)
4 (a) The demand for an item is Rs. 18,000 per year. Production rate is 3000 unit / month. The carrying cost is Rs. 0.15 / unit / month and the setup cost is Rs. 500 per setup. The shortage cost is Rs. 20.00 per unit per year. Find the following parameters:
i) Economic Batch Quantity

iii) Maximum Stock-out
iv) Cycle Time
v) Inventory Period
vi) Shortage Period. (10 marks)
