∴ Maximum value of z = 5300 at B(44, 16)
Hence he should produce 44 gifts of type A & 16 of type B to get a maximum profit of ₹ 5300.

Question 14.
A firm manufactures two products A and B on which profit is earned per unit ₹ 3/- and ₹ 4/- respectively. Each product is processed on two machines M1 and M2. Product A requires one minute of processing time on Mx and two minutes of processing time on M2. B requires one minute of processing time on M1 and one minute processing time on M2 Machine M1 is available for use for 450 minutes while M2 is available for 600 minutes during any working day. Final the number of units of products A and B to be manufactured to get the maximum profit.
Solution:
Let x denote the number of units of product A and y denote the number of units of product B.
The total profit in ₹ 3x + 4y,
The given statements can be tabulated as

The constraints are x + y ≤ 450, 2x + y ≤ 600, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
∴ The LPP can be formulated as
Maximize z = 3x + 4y
Subject to x + y ≤ 450, 2x + y ≤ 600, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.

Maharashtra Board 12th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Linear Programming Miscellaneous Exercise 6 IV Q14.2
OAED in the feasible region O(0, 0) A(0, 450) D(300, 0)
E is the intersection of x + y = 450 and 2x + y = 600
For E, Solving x + y = 450 ……..(i)
2x + y = 600 ……..(ii)
Solving x = 150, y = 300
∴ E(150, 300)
Maharashtra Board 12th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Linear Programming Miscellaneous Exercise 6 IV Q14.3
∴ Maximum value of z = 1800 at (0, 450)

Question 15.
A firm manufacturing two types of electrical items A and B, can make a profit of ₹ 20/- per unit of A and ₹ 30/- per unit of B. Both A and B make use of two essential components a motor and a transformer. Each unit of A requires 3 motors and 2 transformers and each unit of B required 2 motors and 4 transformers. The total supply of components per month is restricted to 210 motors and 300 transformers. How many units of A and B should they manufacture per month to maximize profit? How much is the maximum profit?
Solution:
Let x be the no. of electrical item A and y be the no. of electrical items to be manufactured per month to maximize the profit.
Total profit is ₹ 20x + 30y
The given condition can be tabulated as.
Maharashtra Board 12th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Linear Programming Miscellaneous Exercise 6 IV Q15
The given LPP can be formulated as
Maximize z = 20x + 30y
Subject of 3x + 2y ≤ 210, 2x + 4y ≤ 300, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
Maharashtra Board 12th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Linear Programming Miscellaneous Exercise 6 IV Q15.1
Maharashtra Board 12th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Linear Programming Miscellaneous Exercise 6 IV Q15.2
BOCE is the feasible region
B(70, 0) O(0, 0) C(0, 75)
E is the intersection of 3x + 2y = 210 and 2x + 4y = 300
For E, Solving 3x + 2y = 210 ……….(i)
2x + 4y = 300 …….(ii)
We get x = 30, y = 60
∴ E(30, 60)
Maharashtra Board 12th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Linear Programming Miscellaneous Exercise 6 IV Q15.3
∴ Maximum value of z = ₹ 2400 at (30, 60)
Hence 30 units of A and 60 units of B should be manufactured per month to get the maximum profit of ₹ 2400
