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.
(i) If x tickets of executive class and y tickets of economy class be sold, then which of the following is correct ?
(a) x + y = 200 (b) x + y ≥ 200
(c) x + y > 200 (d) x + y ≤ 200
(ii) Which pair of constraints are correct ?
(a) x ≥ 40 and x ≤ 20 (b) x ≤ 40 and x ≥ 20
(c) x < 40 and x > 20 (d) x = 40 and x ≥ 40
(iii) If profit earned by airlines is represented by Z, then Z is given by
(a) Z = 300x + 400y (b) Z = 400x + 300y
(c) Z = x + y (d) Z = 4x + 3y
(iv) Airlines are interested to maximise the profit. For this to happen the value of x and y i.e. number of executive class ticket and economy class ticket to be sold should be respectively.
(a) 40, 160 (b) 160,40
(c) 20, 180 (d) 180, 20
(v) The maximum profit earned by airlines is
(a) ₹ 68000 (b) ₹ 70000
(c) ₹ 64000 (d) ₹ 62000
Solution: No. of executive class ticket = x
No. of economy class ticket = y
(i) Answer (d)
Since, Aeroplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers.
∴ x + y ≤ 200
(ii) Answer (b)
Since, Airlines reserve at least 20 seats for executive class .
⇒ x ≥ 20
Also, atleast four times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class than by executive class.
⇒ y = 4x
Given, x + y ≤ 200
⇒ x + 4y ≤ 200
⇒ 5x ≤ 200
⇒ x ≤ 40
⇒ x ≥ 20 and x ≤ 40
(iii) Answer (b)
Profit on executive class = 400 x
Profit on economy class = 300 y
∴ Total profit Z = 400x + 300y
(iv) Answer (a)
We have
Z = 400x + 300y which is to be maximise under constraints
x + y ≤ 200
x ≤ 40
x ≥ 20, y ≥ 0
Here ABCD is bounded feasible region with corner points A(20, 0), B(40, 0), C(40, 160), D(20, 80).
Now we evaluate Z at each corner points.
Corner point Z = 400x + 300y
A(20, 0) 8000
B(40, 0) 16000
C(40, 160) 64000 ← Max
D(20, 180) 62000
For maximum profit x = 40, y = 160
(v) Answer (c)
We have,
Z = 400x + 300y
= 400×40 + 300×160
= 16000 + 48000
= ₹ 64,000
Some Other Case Study
Question: 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.
