$A$ dietician has to develop a special diet using two foods $P$ and $Q$. Each packet (containing $30 \, g$) of food $P$ contains $12$ units of calcium,$4$ units of iron,$6$ units of cholesterol and $6$ units of vitamin $A$. Each packet of the same quantity of food $Q$ contains $3$ units of calcium,$20$ units of iron,$4$ units of cholesterol and $3$ units of vitamin $A$. The diet requires at least $240$ units of calcium,at least $460$ units of iron and at most $300$ units of cholesterol. How many packets of each food should be used to minimise the amount of vitamin $A$ in the diet? What is the minimum amount of vitamin $A$?

  • A
    $15$ packets of $P$,$20$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 150$ units
  • B
    $20$ packets of $P$,$15$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 165$ units
  • C
    $10$ packets of $P$,$25$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 135$ units
  • D
    $25$ packets of $P$,$10$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 180$ units

$A$ manufacturer produces two models of bikes: Model $X$ and Model $Y$. Model $X$ takes $6$ man-hours to make per unit,while Model $Y$ takes $10$ man-hours per unit. There is a total of $450$ man-hours available per week. Handling and marketing costs are $Rs. 2000$ and $Rs. 1000$ per unit for Models $X$ and $Y$ respectively. The total funds available for these purposes are $Rs. 80,000$ per week. Profits per unit for Models $X$ and $Y$ are $Rs. 1000$ and $Rs. 500$ respectively. How many bikes of each model should the manufacturer produce so as to yield a maximum profit? Find the maximum profit.

An airplane can carry a maximum of $250$ passengers. $A$ profit of $\text{Rs } 1500$ is made on each executive class ticket and a profit of $\text{Rs } 900$ is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least $30$ seats for executive class. Also, at least $4$ times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class than by executive class. Let $x_1$ be the number of passengers in executive class and $x_2$ be the number of passengers in economy class. Formulate the Linear Programming Problem $(LPP)$ to maximize the profit for the airline.
