Question:

A company produces three products, each of which must be processed through one department. Given table summerizes the labor hour and raw material requirements per unit of each product. Each month there are 1500 labor hours and 3800 pounds of raw materials available. If combined monthly production for the three products should equal 500 units, Determine a combination of three products which satisfies the given values.

Step 1

In linear programming problems, we have to convert our questions into suitable equations and solve these equations to get the solution values for the variables. Since there is no maximum or minimum condition, this question can be solved directly without much complexity. 

Step 2

Let us take the number of units produced for products one, two, and three as x,y, and z.

Then considering labour hour per unit and pounds of raw material per unit we can make two equations taking number units as x, y, and z.

First equation from labou hour/unit is 3x +2y +4z = 1500 and the second equation from pounds of raw material per unit is 10x +8y + 6z = 3800. 

Also considering the total number of units from three products we get x +y +z = 500.

x +y +z =500, from this we can write z = 500-(x+y)

Substituting this value in the first equation we get 3x +2y +4(500 -(x+y) = 1500

3x +2y + 2000-4x -4y =1500, this gives -x - 2y = -500, x +2y = 500

Substituting the value of z in second equation  we get 10x + 8y + 6( 500 -(x+y)) = 3800

10x +8y +3000 -6x -6y = 3800, this gives 4x +2y = 800

 

 

 

 

Step 3

Now we have to solve x +2y =500 and 4x +2y =800 to get the values of x and y.

x + 2y = 500, x =500 -2y and substitute this value in 4x +2y = 800

4(500 -2y) +2y = 800, this gives 2000 -8y + 2y = 800

-6y = -1200, y = -1200/-6 = 200

Now substituting the value of y in 4x + 2y = 800, we get 4x + 2*200 = 800, 4x = 800-400 =400

4x = 400, x =400/4 =100

We know z = 500 -(x+y) = 500 -(100 +200) = 200.

 

Step 4

So the final solution is x = 100 units, y = 200 units, and z = 200 units.

The term covers a large and diverse body of processes. Many oxidation-reduction reactions are as common and familiar as fire, the rusting and dissolution of metals, the browning of fruit, and respiration and photosynthesis—basic life functions.  Oxidation is the  gain  of oxygen. Reduction is the  loss  of oxygen. Most oxidation-reduction (redox) processes involve the transfer of oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, or electrons, with all three processes sharing two important characteristics: (1) they are coupled in any oxidation reaction a reciprocal reduction occu...
