7. Objective of a firm is to maximise profit by producing product A and/or product both of which have to be processed on two machines 1 and 2. Product A requires 2 hours on both machines 1 and while product B needs 3 hours on machine 1 and only 1 hour on machine 2. There are only 12 and 8 hours available on machines 1 and 2 respectively. The profit per unit is estimated at RS 6 and RS 7 in case of product A and B respectively. Formulate and solve the LPP.

8. Describe briefly the queuing model elements. Give some applications of the queuing theory.

9. A company is producing a single product and is selling it through five agencies situated in different cities. All of a sudden, there is a demand for the product in another five cities not having any agency of the company. The company is faced with the problem of deciding on how to assign the existing agencies to despatch the product to needy cities in such a way that the travelling distance is minimised. The distance (in km) between the surplus and deficit cities are given in the following distance matrix:

Deficit cities

I 160 135 140 50 55 II 130 120 110 50 35 III 175 130 155 80 70 IV 190 160 170 80 80 V 200 175 185 110 105
Surplus cities A B C D E
