12 on type A and Rs 13 on type B. Each product is processed on two machines G and
H. Type A requires one min of processing on G and 2 min of processing on H. Type B
requires one minute on G and one minute on H. The machine G is available for not
more than 6 minutes. While machine H is available for 10 minutes during any
working day. Formulate the problem as an LPP.

b. Vitamin A and B are available in 2 different foods P and Q. One unit of P contain 2
units of vitamin A and 3 units of vitamin B. One unit of Q contains 5 units of
Vitamin A and 4 units of vitamin B. The min daily requirement consumption of

Product Platinum per Gold Required per Profit per unit(Rs.)

unit(gm) unit(gm)
A 2 3 500
B 4 2 600
C 6 4 1200

Daily allotment of platinum and gold are 160 gm and 120 gm respectively. Determine the
optimum profit under Simplex Method.
