mr omadoh sells sheep at the annual county auction. he wishes to use lpp to describe his problem and therefore consults the uon for assistance. sheep come in three sizes: large, medium and small. the large sheep(xl) costs sh.3500 and sells for sh.6000 each; the medium sheep (xm) costs sh.3000 and sells for sh.5000 each; the small one (xs) cost sh.1500 and sells for sh.2500 each. Omardoh must order atleast twenty of each type.he can spend nomre than sh. 0.3million on sheep invstment.his space limitation cant exceed 60 units of the large and medium sheep.he must obtain a gross revenue of atleast half a million from selling sheep.he further wants to maximise his profit subject to all the above constraints.i) formulate the appropriate LPP for omardohii)present the standard form of the LPPiii) would the profit be maximised if the objective function y= 50Xl+40Xm+20Xs was assumed for the same problem

- If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forwardQ7.

Yana has been out of work for four months due to pandemic Covid-19 crisis. Then, in the same week, she is offered jobs by two different companies, the 99 Speedmart and KK Super Mart. KK Super Mart is paying higher hourly rate and is nearer to her home but she has to work on 24 hours shift, while 99 Speedmart is located 2 kms far from Yana’s home but nearer to her child’s day care centre. What should Yana do? Make a decision for Yana and explain why that is a good decision for her. Feel free to make up the various circumstances in her life—for example, whether Yana is a student or owns a motorcycle. The more reasons you can give for her decision, the better.arrow_forward
- Describe fully the real-world combinatorial problemarrow_forwardWhile making up his schedule for spring semester, Tom complains that he doesn't have very many choices of schedule because of the general education requirements he has to meet. His advisor tells Tom that he has to take one course from each of English (6 choices), History (8 choices), Math/Stats (5 choices), Computer Science (7 choices), and general Science (7 choices). Does Tom have a legitimate gripe? (1) If every possible course is available at the time he's registering, how many possible schedules can he choose from (disregarding when the classes meet)? Tom can choose from possible schedules. (2) In an unprecedented effort to make the general education requirements more accessible, the dean of Tom's college decides to double the number of acceptable courses in each of those five areas. What effect does this have on the number of possible schedules? Tom can choose from possible schedules when the number of acceptable courses are doubled.
