An airplane can carry a maximum of $250$ passengers. $A$ profit of $Rs \ 1500$ is made on each executive class ticket and a profit of $Rs \ 900$ is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least $30$ seats for executive class. However, 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.

  • A
    Maximize $z = 1500x_1 + 900x_2$ subject to $x_1 + x_2 \leq 250, x_1 \leq 30, x_2 \leq 4x_1, x_1 \geq 0, x_2 \geq 0$.
  • B
    Minimize $z = 150x_1 + 90x_2$ subject to $x_1 + x_2 \leq 250, x_1 \geq 30, x_2 \geq 4x_1, x_1 \geq 0, x_2 \geq 0$.
  • C
    Minimize $z = 1500x_1 + 900x_2$ subject to $x_1 + x_2 \leq 250, x_1 \geq 30, x_2 \geq 4x_1, x_1 \geq 0, x_2 \geq 0$.
  • D
    Maximize $z = 1500x_1 + 900x_2$ subject to $x_1 + x_2 \leq 250, x_1 \geq 30, x_2 \geq 4x_1, x_1 \geq 0, x_2 \geq 0$.

$A$ factory manufactures two types of screws, $A$ and $B$. Each type of screw requires the use of two machines, an automatic and a hand-operated one. It takes $4 \, \text{minutes}$ on the automatic and $6 \, \text{minutes}$ on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a package of screws $A$, while it takes $6 \, \text{minutes}$ on the automatic and $3 \, \text{minutes}$ on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a package of screws $B$. Each machine is available for at most $4 \, \text{hours}$ on any day. The manufacturer can sell a package of screws $A$ at a profit of $Rs. \, 7$ and screws $B$ at a profit of $Rs. \, 10$. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he manufactures, how many packages of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Determine the maximum profit.
