INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Assume appropriate data and state your reasons
(2) Marks are given to the right of every question
(3) Draw neat diagrams wherever necessary

1(a) Define OR. Explain the nature and impact of OR. (10 marks)

1(b) Old hens can be bought at Rs. 2 each but young ones at Rs. 5 each. The old hens lay 3 eggs per week and the young ones lay 5 eggs per week, each egg being worth 30 paise. A hen (young/old) cost Rs. 1 per week to feed. You have only Rs. 80 to spend for buying hens. How many of each kind should you buy to give a profit of more than Rs. 6 per week, assuming that you cannot house more than 20 hens. Write a mathematical model of the problem. (10 marks)
