$A$ manufacturer of electronic circuits has a stock of $200$ resistors,$120$ transistors and $150$ capacitors and is required to produce two types of circuits $A$ and $B$. Type $A$ requires $20$ resistors,$10$ transistors and $10$ capacitors. Type $B$ requires $10$ resistors,$20$ transistors and $30$ capacitors. If the profit on type $A$ circuit is $Rs. 50$ and that on type $B$ circuit is $Rs. 60$,formulate this problem as a $LPP$ so that the manufacturer can maximize his profit.

Let the manufacturer produce $x$ units of type $A$ circuits and $y$ units of type $B$ circuits.
From the given information,we have the following corresponding constraint table:
Component Type $A$ $(x)$ Type $B$ $(y)$ Maximum Stock
Resistors $20$ $10$ $200$
Transistors $10$ $20$ $120$
Capacitors $10$ $30$ $150$
Profit $Rs. 50$ $Rs. 60$ -

Thus,the objective function for profit is $Z = 50x + 60y$.
Now,we have the following mathematical model for the given problem:
Maximize $Z = 50x + 60y$
Subject to the constraints:
$20x + 10y \leq 200$ (Resistors constraint) $\Rightarrow 2x + y \leq 20$
$10x + 20y \leq 120$ (Transistors constraint) $\Rightarrow x + 2y \leq 12$
$10x + 30y \leq 150$ (Capacitors constraint) $\Rightarrow x + 3y \leq 15$
$x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ (Non-negativity constraints)
So,the $LPP$ is to maximize $Z = 50x + 60y$ subject to $2x + y \leq 20, x + 2y \leq 12, x + 3y \leq 15, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

$A$ dietician has to develop a special diet using two foods $P$ and $Q$. Each packet (containing $30 \, g$) of food $P$ contains $12$ units of calcium,$4$ units of iron,$6$ units of cholesterol,and $6$ units of vitamin $A$. Each packet of the same quantity of food $Q$ contains $3$ units of calcium,$20$ units of iron,$4$ units of cholesterol,and $3$ units of vitamin $A$. The diet requires at least $240$ units of calcium,at least $460$ units of iron,and at most $300$ units of cholesterol. How many packets of each food should be used to maximize the amount of vitamin $A$ in the diet? What is the maximum amount of vitamin $A$ in the diet?

$A$ manufacturer produces nuts and bolts. It takes $1\, hour$ of work on machine $A$ and $3\, hours$ on machine $B$ to produce a package of nuts. It takes $3\, hours$ on machine $A$ and $1\, hour$ on machine $B$ to produce a package of bolts. He earns a profit of $Rs.\,17.50$ per package on nuts and $Rs.\,7$ per package on bolts. How many packages of each should be produced each day so as to maximise his profit,if he operates his machines for at the most $12\, hours$ a day?
