1
Formulate and solve it bye graphical method. (10)
2. Wild West produces two types of cowboy hats.
Formulate the problem as an LPP so as to maximize the profit and solve by simplex method. (10)
3.Write the dual of the primal (5)
Max Z=2×1+3×2+4×3
Subject to constraints
X1-5×2+3×3=7
2×1-5×2 <=3 3×2-5×3>=5

4. A company has received a contract to supply gravel for three new construction projects located in town A, B and C. Construction engineers have estimated the required amounts of gravel which will be needed at these construction project:
| Project location | Weekly requirement (truckloads) |
| A | 72 |
| B | 102 |
| C | 41 |
The company has 3gravel pits located in town X, Y, Z.
The amount of gravel which can be supplied by each pit is as follows:
| plant | X | Y | Z |
| Amount available (truckloads) | 76 | 82 | 77 |
The company has computed the delivery cost from each pit to each project site. These costs (Rs.) are shown in following table:
Project location
| A | B | C |
| 4 | 8 | 8 |
| 16 | 24 | 16 |
| 8 | 16 | 24 |
Also find minimum cost with optimality. (15)
5 .In the modification of a plant layout of a factory, four new machine M1,M2,M3, M4 are to be installed in a machine shop. There are five vacant places A,B,C,D, E available. Because of limited space machine M2 can’t be placed at C and M3 can’t be placed at A. The cost of locating a machine at place( in hundred rupees) as follows:
| A | B | C | D | E | |
| M1 | 9 | 11 | 15 | 10 | 11 |
| M2 | 12 | 9 | – | 10 | 9 |
| M3 | – | 11 | 14 | 11 | 7 |
| M4 | 4 | 8 | 2 | 7 | 8 |
Find optimal assignment schedule. (5)
6. Use the algorithm of Dijkstra to find the shortest route in the network between node 1 and any other node. (10)
7. A project consisting of 6 independent activities is to be analyzed by using PERT. The following information is given. (10)
| Activity | A | B | C | D | E | F |
| Predecessor activity | – | – | A | B,C | D | A |
| Optimistic time | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| Pessimistic time | 5 | 2 | 5 | 14 | 3 | 10 |
| Most likely time | 4 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 9 |
