Q01. A company manufactures two types of sweaters, type A and type B. It costs `360 to make
one unit of type A and `120 to make a unit of type B. The company can make at most 300
sweaters and can spend at most `72000 a day. The number of sweaters of type A cannot
exceed the number of type B by more than 100. The company makes a profit of `200 on
each unit of type A but considering the difficulties of a common man the company charges a
nominal profit of `20 on a unit of type B. Using LPP, solve the problem for maximum profit.
[Sample Paper 2014
Q02. A dealer in rural area wishes to purchase a number of sewing machines. He has only

Sewing Machine at a profit of `22.00 and a manually operated sewing machine at a profit of
`18.00. Assuming that he can sell all the items that he can buy, how should he invest his

to the airline. The airline reserves at least 20 seats of first class. However, at least four times

10 litres per hectare, respectively. Further not more than 800 litres of herbicide should be
used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land.
Keeping in mind that the protection of fish and other wildlife is more important than earning
profit, how much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximize the total profit?
Form an LPP from the above and solve it graphically. Do you agree with the message that
the protection of wildlife is utmost necessary to preserve the balance in environment? [’13 D

Q03. Maximum value of Z is 30km when the young man drives km at 25km/hr and
3
40
km at 40km/hr. Values: Driving the motor vehicles at high speed rises the air
3
pollution as well as the expenditures on fuel. So, one should avoid such practice.
Q04. No. of first class tickets : 20, no. of economy class tickets : 180. Max.Profit : `116000
Q05. 30 hectares of land is to be allocated for crop A and 20 hectares for the crop B for maximum
profit of `495000. Keeping the ‘save environment’ factor in mind, we agree that the
protection of wildlife is utmost necessary to maintain the balance in environment as their
protection preserves the food-chain.
