Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A factory produces two products A and B. Product A requires 3 hours of labor and 2 kg of material. Product B requires 1 hour of labor and 4 kg of material. If the factory has 60 hours of labor and 40 kg of material, and the profit from the products is $10 for A and $6 for B, formulate the linear programming problem and find the optimal production quantities.
💡 Hint: Sketch the constraints on a graph to find feasible points.
Question 2
In a diet problem, a student wants to minimize the cost of buying food while meeting nutritional requirements. If food X costs $2 and provides 3 protein units, and food Y costs $3 and provides 2 protein units, and the student needs at least 12 protein units. Formulate this as a linear programming problem.
💡 Hint: Identify constraints based on the minimum protein requirements.
