A share is refferred to as a unit of owner ship which represents an equal proportion of a company’s capital. A share entities the shareholders to an equal claim on profit and loss of company. Dr. Ritam wants to invest at most ₹ 12,000 in two type of shares A abd B. According to the rules, she has to invest at least ₹ 2000 in share A and at least ₹ 4000 in share B. If the rate of interest on share A is 8% per annum and on share B is 10% per annum.(Case study linear programming 4)
Based on above information answer the following question.
(i) (a) If Dr. Ritam invest ₹ x in share A, then find the inequality for it .
(b) If she invest ₹ y in share B, then find inequality for it.
(ii) (a) If total interest recieved by Dr. Ritam from both type of shares is represented by Z, then represent Z in term of x and y.
(b) To maximise interest to both type of share, find the invested amount on both shares A & B.
Solution: Amount invest by Dr.Ritam in A share = ₹ x
Amount invest by Dr.Ritam in B share = ₹ y
(i) (a) Since she has to invest at least ₹ 2000 in share A
∴ x ≥ 2000
(b) Since, she has to invest at least ₹ 4000 in share B
∴ y ≥ 4000
(ii) (a) Interest on share A = x×8/100 = ₹ 2x/25
Interest on share B= y×10/100 = ₹ y/10
∴ Her total interest = Z = ₹
(b) WEe have,
Z = 
which is to be maximised under constraints
x ≥ 2000
y ≥ 4000
and x + y ≤ 12000
Here, ABC be bounded feasible region with corner points A(2000, 10000), B(8000, 4000), C(2000, 4000).
Now we evaluate Z at each corner points.
Corner point Z = (2x/25 + y/10)
A(2000, 10000) 1160 ← Max
B(8000, 4000) 1040
C(2000, 4000) 560
i.e. For maximum interest x = ₹ 2000, y = ₹ 10000
Some Other Case Study
Aeroplane is an important invention for three reasons.It shortens travel time, is more comfortable and facilitates the transport of heavy cargo.(Case study linear programming 5 )
An aeroplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers.
A profit of ₹ 400 is made on each executive class ticket and profit of ₹ 300 is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least 20 seats for executive class. However at least 4 times as many passenger prefer to travel by economy class then by executive class.
