Applied Operation Research

1. A manufacturer wishes to determine how to produce two products A

and B so as to realize the maximum total profit from the sale of
products. Both products are made in two processes I and II. It takes 7
hours in Process I and 4 hours in process II to manufacture 100 units
of product A. It requires 6 hours in process 1 and 2 hours in process II
to manufacture 100 units of product B. Process I can handle 84 hours of
work and Process II can take 32 hours of work in the Scheduled
period. If the Profit is Rs.4 per 100 units of product B and Rs.11 per
100 units of product A then how may each products A and B should
be manufactured to realize the Maximum Profit. It is Assumed that
Whatever is produced can be sold and that the set-up time on the
two processes is negligible.

2. A Captain of cricket team has to allot five middle order batting

Positions to five batsmen. The Average runs scored by each batsmen at
