State the Linear Programming Problem in Mathematical Terms, Identifying the Objective

Question 50

Multiple Choice

State the linear programming problem in mathematical terms, identifying the objective function and the constraints.
-A firm makes products AA and B. Product A takes 3 hours each on machine LL and machine M; product B takes 3 hours on LL and 2 hours on M. Machine LL can be used for 13 hours and M for 8 hours. Profit on product AA is $7\$ 7 and $10\$ 10 on B. Maximize profit.


A) Maximize 7 A+10 B7 \mathrm{~A}+10 \mathrm{~B}
Subject to: 3 A+3 B133 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~B} \geq 13
2 A+3 B82 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~B} \geq 8
A,B0\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} \leq 0 .
B) Maximize 7 A+10 B7 \mathrm{~A}+10 \mathrm{~B}
Subject to: 3 A+3 B133 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~B} \leq 13
2 A+3 B82 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~B} \leq 8
A,B0\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} \geq 0 .
C) Maximize 7 A+10 B7 \mathrm{~A}+10 \mathrm{~B}
Subject to: 3 A+3 B133 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~B} \leq 13
3 A+2 B83 \mathrm{~A}+2 \mathrm{~B} \leq 8
A,B0\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} \geq 0 .
D) Maximize 10 A+7 B10 \mathrm{~A}+7 \mathrm{~B}
Subject to: 3A+2B133 A+2 B \leq 13
3 A+3 B83 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~B} \leq 8
A,B0\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} \geq 0 .
