Machines I and II are capable of being operated for at most 12 hrs whereas machine III is capable to operate at least 5 hrs a day. He produced only two items M and N each requiring the use of all 3 machines. Number of hours for producing 1 unit of M and N each on the 3 machines are given below:
Items No. of hours in each machine
IIIIII
M121
N211.25
He makes a profit of Rs.600 on M and Rs. 400 on N. If x is the number of M items and y is the number of N items then,
(A) Z = 600x + 400y
(B) \(x+2 y \geq 12\)
(C) \(x+\frac{5}{4} y \leq 5\)
(D) \(2 x+y \leq 12\)
  1. A B, C and D only
  2. B A and B only
  3. C A and D only
  4. D C and D only

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A and D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x\) be the number of M items and \(y\) be the number of N items. Objective Function (Profit): Profit \(Z = 600x + 400y\) This matches option (A). Constraints: Machine I (at most 12 hrs): \(1x + 2y \leq 12\) Option (B) is \(x+2 y \geq 12\), which is incorrect. Machine II…
