Step 1: Identify constraint lines.
Convert inequalities to equations for plotting: \[ 3x + y = 9, \quad x + y = 7, \quad x + 2y = 8. \]
Step 2: Find intersection points.
Solving for intersection points:
1. Solve \( 3x + y = 9 \) and \( x + y = 7 \).
2. Solve \( x + y = 7 \) and \( x + 2y = 8 \).
3. Solve \( 3x + y = 9 \) and \( x + 2y = 8 \).
Step 3: Identify feasible region.
Graph all lines and shade the feasible region satisfying constraints.
Step 4: Compute Z-values at corner points.
Evaluate \( Z = 2x + y \) at each intersection point to find the minimum.
Final Answer: Minimum \( Z \) value occurs at \( (x, y) = \text{(solution obtained from computations)} \).
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
Reshma wishes to mix two types of food P and Q in such a way that the vitamin contents of the mixture contain at least 8 units of vitamin A and 11 units of vitamin B.Food P costs Rs.60/kg and food Q costs Rs.80/kg. Food P contains 3 units/kg of vitamin A and 5 units/kg of vitamin B while food Q contains 4units/kg of vitamin A and 2 units/kg of vitamin B. Determine the minimum cost of the mixture.
One kind of cake requires 200g of flour and 25g of fat, and another kind of cake requires 100g of flour and 50g of fat. Find the maximum number of cakes that can be made from 5kg of flour and 1kg of fat assuming that there is no shortage of the other ingredients used in making the cakes.
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 Rs17.50 per package on nuts and Rs7.00 per package on bolts. How many packages of each should be produced each day so as to maximize his profit, if he operates his machines for at the most 12 hours a day?
