28. Part of tank filled by A,B,C together in 2hrs = 2/8 = ¼ ½
Remaining part = ¾
In 9 hrs A and C can fill ¾ of the tank ½
Part of tank filled by A and C in 1hr = ¾ x 1/9 = 1/12 ½
Part of tank filled by A,B,C together in 1hr = 1/8 ½
Part of tank filled by B alone in 1hr = 1/8 – 1/12 = 1/24 ½
So, B alone can fill tank in 24hrs. ½

30. a) Given below the diagrammatic representation
Let A transports x packets to P , y packets to Q and 60 -x -y to R
x ≥ 0, y≥ 0
60-x-y ≥ 0 so x + y ≤ 60
Also factory B transports 40 – x packets to P, 40-y packets to Q and
70- (40-x) – (40 – y) = x + y – 10 packets to R. 1
40 – x ≥ 0, 40 – y ≥ 0, x + y – 10 ≥ 0
Total cost is given by 5x + 4y + 3(60-x-y) +4(40-x) +2(40-y)+5(x+y-10)
Hence the given problem can be formulated as an L.P.P as
Minimise Z = 3x + 4y + 370, subject to the constraints
x + y ≤ 60
x≤40 1
y ≤ 40
x + y ≥ 10

b) The corner points of unbounded region are A(6,0) and B(0,3)
Value of Z at A = 6
Z at B = 6 1
Line Z = 6 has no point in the unbounded region.
So minimum value of Z is 6 . Value of Z at A and B is same also at any
other point on line AB gives Z as 6. ½
Thus minimum of Z occurs for more than 2 points.

SECTION D
32. Let demand function, D(x) = ax + b -------------------(i)
Given x = 20, when p = 16000 and x = 80 when p = 10000
Substituting in (i)
16000= 20a +b 1
10000 = 80a + b
Solving, a = -100 and b = 18000
So, D(x) = -100x + 18000 ½
Let supply function be S(x) = cx +d- -------------(ii)
Given x = 155 when p = 16000 and x = 35 when p = 10000
Substituting in ii) and solving, c = 50 and d= 8250 1
So S(x)= 50x + 8250 ½
At equilibrium S(x) = D(x)
-100x0 + 18000= 50x0 + 8250
X0 = 65 1

Substituting in D(x) we get p0 = 11500

Let dietitian mix x units of food 1 and y units of food 2
Z denotes the cost, Z = 50x + 70y
Hence L.P.P is ,
Minimise Z = 50x + 70y, subject to constraints 1
2x + y ≥ 8
x + 2y ≥10
x, y ≥ 0
The shaded region is feasible unbounded region.
Coordinates of corner points of feasible region are B(0,8),P(2,4) and
C(10,0)
To find minimum using iso cost method, we give a convenient value
for Z, 700
50x + 70y = 700(P1Q1) passes through (0,10) and (14,0)
Move it parallel to itself towards the origin so that Z is minimum at
(2,4)
Hence Minimum of Z = 380 1
