$A$ production unit makes a special type of metal chip by combining copper and brass. The standard weight of the chip must be at least $5 \text{ gms}$. The basic ingredients,i.e.,copper and brass,cost $₹8$ and $₹5$ per $\text{gm}$ respectively. Durability considerations dictate that the metal chip must not contain more than $4 \text{ gms}$ of brass and should contain a minimum of $2 \text{ gms}$ of copper. Then,the minimum cost of the metal chip satisfying the above conditions is:

  • A
    ₹ $36$
  • B
    ₹ $31$
  • C
    ₹ $30$
  • D
    ₹ $40$

An airplane can carry a maximum of $250$ passengers. $A$ profit of $Rs \ 1500$ is made on each executive class ticket and a profit of $Rs \ 900$ is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least $30$ seats for executive class. However, at least $4$ times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class than by executive class. Let $x_1$ be the number of passengers in executive class and $x_2$ be the number of passengers in economy class. Formulate the Linear Programming Problem $(LPP)$ to maximize the profit for the airline.

$A$ fruit grower can use two types of fertilizer in his garden,brand $P$ and brand $Q$.
