$A$ cooperative society of farmers has $50$ hectares of land to grow two crops $X$ and $Y$. The profit from crops $X$ and $Y$ per hectare are estimated as Rs $10,500$ and Rs $9,000$ respectively. To control weeds,a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops $X$ and $Y$ at rates of $20$ litres and $10$ litres per hectare. Further,no more than $800$ litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. How much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximise the total profit of the society?

  • A
    $30$ hectares for crop $X$ and $20$ hectares for crop $Y$
  • B
    $20$ hectares for crop $X$ and $30$ hectares for crop $Y$
  • C
    $40$ hectares for crop $X$ and $10$ hectares for crop $Y$
  • D
    $10$ hectares for crop $X$ and $40$ hectares for crop $Y$

The shaded region in the following figure is the solution set of the inequations:

$A$ firm has to transport $1200$ packages using large vans which can carry $200$ packages each and small vans which can take $80$ packages each. The cost for engaging each large van is $Rs. 400$ and each small van is $Rs. 200$. Not more than $Rs. 3000$ is to be spent on the job and the number of large vans cannot exceed the number of small vans. Formulate this problem as an $LPP$ given that the objective is to minimize cost.
