Explanation Assume that the amount of time limited to each of the three categories of activities be represented by y 1 , y 2 and y 3 , respectively. Construct a table in order to fetch the data from the given information as follows. Walking Cycling Swimming Total Calories/min 3.5 4 8 1500 Per week 30 min Then obtain the first constraint as 3.5 y 1 + 4 y 2 + 8 y 3 ≥ 1500 since walking burns 3.5 calories per minute, cycling burns 4 calories per minute and swimming burns 8 calories per minute whereas exercises burn atleast 1500 extra calories per week. Obtain the second constraint as y 1 + y 2 ≥ 3 y 3 since she would spent the total time in walking and cycling has to be atleast 3 times as long as she spends in swimming. Obtain the third constraint as y 1 ≥ 30 since she spent atleast 30 minutes per week. Obtain the objective function which represents the minimized time is, w = y 1 + y 2 + y 3 . The linear programming problem can be stated as follows. Minimize w = y 1 + y 2 + y 3 subject to 3.5 y 1 + 4 y 2 + 8 y 3 ≥ 1500 y 1 + y 2 − 3 y 3 ≥ 0 y 1 ≥ 30 with y 1 ≥ 0 , y 2 ≥ 0 , y 3 ≥ 0 Obtain the dual of the above problem as follows. Maximize z = 1500 x 1 + 30 x 3 subject to 3 .5 x 1 + x 2 + x 3 ≤ 1 4 x 1 + x 2 ≤ 1 8 x 1 − 3 x 2 ≤ 1 with x 1 ≥ 0 , x 2 ≥ 0 , x 3 ≥ 0 Add slack variables to the above constraints and obtain the linear programming problem as follows. Maximize z = 1500 x 1 + 30 x 3 subject to 3 .5 x 1 + x 2 + x 3 + s 1 = 1 4 x 1 + x 2 + s 2 = 1 8 x 1 − 3 x 2 + s 3 = 1 with x 1 ≥ 0 , x 2 ≥ 0 , x 3 ≥ 0 , s 1 ≥ 0 , s 2 ≥ 0 , s 3 ≥ 0 Rewrite the objective function as z − 1500 x 1 − 30 x 3 = 0
