The correct constraints for the given feasible region are:

$A$ fruit grower can use two types of fertilizer in his garden,brand $P$ and brand $Q$. The amounts (in $kg$) of nitrogen,phosphoric acid,potash,and chlorine in a bag of each brand are given in the table. Tests indicate that the garden needs at least $240 \, kg$ of phosphoric acid,at least $270 \, kg$ of potash,and at most $310 \, kg$ of chlorine.
If the grower wants to maximize the amount of nitrogen added to the garden,how many bags of each brand should be added? What is the maximum amount of nitrogen added?
Brand $P$ ($kg$ per bag)Brand $Q$ ($kg$ per bag)
Nitrogen$3$$3.5$
Phosphoric acid$1$$2$
Potash$3$$1.5$
Chlorine$1.5$$2$

If $Z=10x+25y$ subject to $0 \leq x \leq 3, 0 \leq y \leq 3, x+y \leq 5, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$,then $Z$ is maximum at the point:

There are two factories located at place $P$ and place $Q$. From these locations,a certain commodity is to be delivered to each of the three depots situated at $A, B$ and $C$. The weekly requirements of the depots are $5, 5$ and $4$ units respectively,while the production capacities of the factories at $P$ and $Q$ are $8$ and $6$ units respectively. The cost of transportation per unit is given below:
From/To$A$$B$$C$
$P$$160$$100$$150$
$Q$$100$$120$$100$

How many units should be transported from each factory to each depot in order that the transportation cost is minimum? What will be the minimum transportation cost?

$A$ manufacturer has three machines $I, II$ and $III$ installed in his factory. Machines $I$ and $II$ are capable of being operated for at most $12 \, hours$ whereas machine $III$ must be operated for at least $5 \, hours$ a day. She produces only two items $M$ and $N$ each requiring the use of all the three machines. The number of hours required for producing $1$ unit of each of $M$ and $N$ on the three machines are given in the following table:
ItemsMachine $I$Machine $II$Machine $III$
$M$$1$$2$$1$
$N$$2$$1$$1.25$

She makes a profit of $Rs. \, 600$ and $Rs. \, 400$ on items $M$ and $N$ respectively. How many of each item should she produce so as to maximise her profit assuming that she can sell all the items that she produced? What will be the maximum profit?
