a. Explain the steps involved in linear programming problem formulation. Discuss in brief the advantages of linear programming.
b. Alpha Limited produces & sells two different products under the brand names black
& white. The profit per unit on these products in Rs. 50 & Rs. 40 respectively. Both the products employ the same manufacturing process which has a fixed total capacity of
50,000 man-hours. As per the estimates of the marketing research department of
Alpha Limited, there is a market demand for maximum 8,000 units of Black & 10,000 units of white. Subject to the overall demand, the products can be sold in any possible combination. If it takes 3 hours to produce one unit of black & 2 hours to produce one unit of white, formulate the model of linear programming.
