‘Z’ = 8,000x1 + 7,000x2 (Subject to constraints)
3x1 + x2 < 66
x1 < 20
x2 < 40
x1 + x2 < 45
x1, x2 > 0 (Non-negativity constraints)
Solution:
Step 1: Convert the inequalities into equalities and find the divisible.
Step 2: Fix up the graphic scale
Maximum points = 66
Minimum points = 20
1 cm. = 10 points
Step 3: Graph the data
Step 4: Find the co-ordinates of the corner points
Corner points | x1 | x2 |
O | 0 | 0 |
A | 20 | 0 |
B | 20 | 6 |
C | 10.5 | 34.5 |
D | 5 | 40 |
E | 0 | 40 |
