A manufacturer has installed three machines to produce two items A and B (say). Machine M1 and M2 are capable of being operated for at most 10 hours and 12 hours per day. Machine M3 must operate for at least 6 hours a day. To produce a unit of item A, the manufacturer has to operate M1, M2, M3 for 2 hours, 1 hour and 2 hours respectively. Machines M1, M2 and M3 are to be used for 1 hour, 3 hours and 2 hours respectively to produce one unit of item B. The manufacturer makes a profit of Rs. 8 on each unit of A and a profit of Rs. 6 on each unit of item B. It is assumed that he can sell out all the items he can produce. Formulate this problem as an LPP in which profit is made maximum.

A factory is engaged in manufacturing two products A and B which involves lathe work, grinding and assembling. The cutting, grinding and assembling times required for one unit on A are 2, 1 and 1 hours respectively. Similarly 3, 1 and 3 hours for one unit of B. The profit on A and B are Rs.2, Rs.3 per unit respectively. Assuming that there are available 300 hours of lathe time, 200 hours of grinding time and 240 hours of assembling time, the manufacturer wants to produce different type of items A, B, C in such a way that the profit turns out to be maximum. Formulate the above as an LPP.

An electric company manufactures two radio models each on a separate production line. The daily capacity of the first line is 60 radios and that of the second is 75radios. Each unit of the first model uses 10 pieces of a certain electric component whereas each unit of the second model requires 8 pieces of the same component. The maximum daily availability of the special electric component is 800 pieces. The profits per unit of models 1 and 2 are Rs.500 and Rs. 400 respectively. The company desires to maximize his profit. Formulate the company's problem as a linear programme. Determine graphically the optimal daily production of each model.

A car manufacturing company produces two types of cars, one an economy type A and the other a deluxe type B. Each car of type B takes twice as long as to produce one of type A. The company would have time to a maximum of 2000 hours per day if it produce only the economy type cars. The deluxe car requires a fancy fitting of which only 60 is available per day. If the company makes a profit of  30,000 and  50,000 per car on A and B type respectively, then formulate the problem as a linear programming problem to maximize the profit.
