Q.

A company produces two products, P1 and P2, and wants to determine the optimal production mix that maximizes the profit. The profit per unit of P1 is Rs. 6 and the profit per unit of P2 is Rs. 5. The company has a maximum of 50 units of a certain raw material available per day. Each unit of P1 requires 2 units of the raw material, while each unit of P2 requires 3 units of the raw material. Formulate the linear programming problem to determine the optimal production mix of P1 and P2.

Detailed Solution

Let x be the number of units of P1 produced.
Let y be the number of units of P2 produced.

The objective function, to be maximized, is given by:

Z = 6x + 5y

The constraint is:

2x + 3y <= 50 (raw material)
x >= 0, y >= 0

The linear programming problem can be solved graphically or by using the simplex method. The optimal production mix is x = 16.67 and y = 5.56, with a maximum profit of Rs. 110.56.
