1. The manager of an oil refinery must decide on the optimum mix of 2 possible blending processes of which the inputs and outputs production run are as follows: Input Output Input Proce Crude Crude Gasoline Gasoline ss A B X Y 1 6 4 6 9 2 5 6 5 5 The maximum amounts available of crudes A and B are 250 units and 200 units respectively. Market demand shows that at least 150 units of gasoline X and 130 units of gasoline Y must be produced. The profits per production run from Process 1 and Process 2 are Rs. 4 and Rs. 5 respectively. Formulate the problem for maximising the profit. 2. Solve graphically the following L.P.P.: Maximise z = 3x1 + 2x2 Subject to the constraints -2x1 +x2 <= 1; x1 < = 2; x1+x2 < = 3 and X1 , x2 = > 0. 3. Three nutrient components namely, thiamin, phosphorus and iron are found in a diet of two food items - A and B. The amount of each nutrient (in milligrams per ounce, i.e., mg/oz) is given below: Food Item Nutrient A B 0.12 0.10 Thiamin mg/oz mg/oz Phosphor 0.75 1.70 us mg/oz mg/oz 1.20 1.10 Iron mg/oz mg/oz The cost of food items A and B is Rs. 2 per oz and Rs. 1.70 per oz respectively. The minimum daily requirements of these nutrients are atleast 1.00 mg of thiamin, 7.50 mg of phosphorus, and 10.00 mg of iron. Formulate this problem in the linear programming form. 4. Use Vogel's approximation method to obtain an initial basic feasible solution of the transportation problem: Availab D E F G le A 11 13 17 14 250 B 16 18 14 10 300 C 21 24 13 10 400 Deman 20 22 27 25 d 0 5 5 0

5. A department head has four tasks to be performed and three subordinates, the subordinates differ in efficiency. The estimates of the time, each subordinate would take to perform, is given below in the matrix. How should he allocate the tasks one to each man, so as to minimize the total man-hours?

The cost of assigning each man to each job is given in the following table. The objective is to assign men to jobs in such a way that the total cost of assignment is minimum.

A firm makes two products X and Y, and has a total production capacity of 9 tonnes per day, X and Y requiring the same production capacity. The firm has a permanent contract to supply at least 2 tonnes of X and at least 3 tonne of Y requires 50 machine hours of production time. The daily maximum possible number of machine hours is 360. All the firms output can be sold, and the profit made is Rs. 80 per tonne of X and Rs. 120 per tonne of Y. It is required to determine the production schedule for maximum profit and to calculate this profit.
