December] [Time : 3 Hours

Maximum : 100 Marks

Answer any FIVE questions(5×20=100)

  1. Use simplex method to solve the following LPP

Maximize Z=4x1+10x2

Subject to the constraints

2x1+x2 50,

2x1+5x2 100,

2x1+3x2 90,

x1, x2 0

  1. Solve by Dual simplex method the following LPP

Minimize Z=5x1+6x2

Subject to the constraints

x1+x2 2,

4x1+x2 4,

x1, x2 0

  1. The demand pattern for a product at consumer centers, A, B, C and D are 500 units, 7000 units, 4000 units and 2000 units, respectively. The supply for these centers is from three factories X, Y and Z. The capacities the factories are 3000 units, 6000 units and 9000 units respectively. The unit transportation cost in rupees from a factory to consumer center is given below in the matrix.

A / B / C / D
X / 8 / 9 / 12 / 8
Y / 3 / 4 / 3 / 2
Z / 5 / 3 / 7 / 4

Develop an optimal transportation schedule and find the optimal cost.

  1. Four different jobs are to be done on four machines, one job on each machine, as set up costs and time are too high to permit a job being worked on more than one machine. The matrix given below gives the time for producing jobs on different machines.

A / B / C / D
P / 10 / 14 / 22 / 12
Q / 16 / 10 / 18 / 12
R / 8 / 14 / 20 / 14
S / 20 / 8 / 16 / 6

Assign the jobs to machines so that total time of production is minimized.
