    The optimal dual variables are V1 & V2.

    Correct Option: D

    The optimal dual variables are V1 & V2.


  1. If an additional constraint X1 + X2 ≤ 5 is added, the optimal solution is

    Max z = x1 + x2

    As feasibly region remains the same solution remains the same (4/3, 4/3).
    Hence, the correct option is (b).

    Correct Option: B

    Max z = x1 + x2

    As feasibly region remains the same solution remains the same (4/3, 4/3).
    Hence, the correct option is (b).



  1. A company has two factories S1, S2 and two warehouses D1, D2. The supplies from S1 and S2 are 50 and 40 units respectively. Warehouse D1 requires a minimum of 20 units and a maximum of 40 units. Warehouse D2 requires a minimum of 20 units and, over and above, it can take as much as can be supplied. A balanced transportation problem is to be formulated for the above situation. The number of supply points, the number of demand points, and the total supply (or total demand) in the balanced transportation problem respectively are

    Total no of supply point
    ⇒  m + n – 1
    ⇒  2 + 2 – 1
    ⇒  3
    Total no of Demand point
    = 4 (x11, x12, x21, x22)
    Total supply = Total Demand
    ⇒  90 units

    Correct Option: C


    Total no of supply point
    ⇒  m + n – 1
    ⇒  2 + 2 – 1
    ⇒  3
    Total no of Demand point
    = 4 (x11, x12, x21, x22)
    Total supply = Total Demand
    ⇒  90 units


  1. A component can be produced by any of the four processes, I, II, III and IV. Process I has fixed cost of Rs. 20 and variable cost of Rs. 3 per piece. Process II has a fixed cost of Rs. 50 and variable cost of Rs. 1 per piece. Process III has a fixed cost of Rs. 40.00 and variable cost of Rs. 2 per piece. Process IV has fixed cost of Rs. 10 and Variable cost Rs. 4 per piece. If company wishes to produce 100 pieces of the component, from economic point of view it should choose

    Total cost = Fixed Cost (FC) + Number of piece (n) × Variable Cost per piece (VC)
    TC = FC + (n) x V.C
    For I
    TCI = 20+ (100) 3 = 320
    For II
    TCII = 50 + (100) 1 = 150
    For III
    TCIII = 40 + 100 (2) = 240
    For IV
    TCIV = 10 + 100 (4) = 410
    So from economical point of view, one should chose process II

    Correct Option: B


    Total cost = Fixed Cost (FC) + Number of piece (n) × Variable Cost per piece (VC)
    TC = FC + (n) x V.C
    For I
    TCI = 20+ (100) 3 = 320
    For II
    TCII = 50 + (100) 1 = 150
    For III
    TCIII = 40 + 100 (2) = 240
    For IV
    TCIV = 10 + 100 (4) = 410
    So from economical point of view, one should chose process II



  1. A company has an annual demand of 1000 units, ordering cost of Rs. 100/ order and carrying cost of Rs. 100/unit-year. If the stockout costs are estimated to be nearly Rs. 400 each time the company runs out-of-stock, the safety stock justified by the carrying cost will be

    D = 1000 Units
    CO = 100 Rs/order
    Ch = 100/ unit/order
    Cs = 400 each time

    ⇒  50

    S* = Q *
    Ch
    = 50
    100
    CS + Ch500

    S* ⇒ 10
    Softly Stock Justified by the carrying cost = Maximum Inventory level M = Q* – S* = 40

    D = 1000 Units
    CO = 100 Rs/order
    Ch = 100/ unit/order
