Q1. Define Nature and Meaning of Operational Research.

Q2. The manufacturer of medicines is proposed to prepare a production plan for

medicines A and B. There are sufficient ingredient available to make 20,000 bottles
of medicine A and 40,000 bottles of medicines B, but there are only 45,000 bottles
into which either of medicine can be filled, further it takes three hours to prepare
enough material to fill 1000 bottles of medicine A and one hour to prepare enough
material to fill 1000 bottles of medicine B. and there are 66 hours available for this
operation. The profit is Rs. 8 per bottle for medicine A and Rs. 7 per bottle for
medicine B. Formulate the LPP.

Q3. Solve the following LPP Graphically

Max z = 8000x1 + 7000x2

subjected to 3x1 + x2 ≤ 66, x1 + x2 ≤ 45 , x1 ≤ 20 , x2 ≤ 40 and x1 , x2 ≥ 0

Q4. Solve the LPP by Ordinary Simplex method

Max z = 3x1 + 5x2 + 4 x3

subjected to 2x1 + 3x2 ≤ 8, 2x2 + 5x3 ≤ 10 , 3x1 + 2x2 + 4x3 ≤ 15

and x1 , x2 , x3 ≥ 0

Q5. Solve the LPP by Big M method

Max z = 3x1 - x2 subj. to 2x1 + x2 ≥ 2, x1 + 3x2 ≤ 3 , x2≤ 4

and x1 , x2 ≥ 0
