SECTION-B
2. Seed Ltd . has two products Rice & Wheat. To produce one unit of Rice, 2 units of
material X and 4 units of material Y are required. To produce one unit of Wheat, 3 units
of material X and 2 units of material Y are required. At least 16 units of each material
must be used in order to meet the committed sales of Rice & Wheat. Due to moderate
marketing facilities not more than 8 units of product Wheat can be sold. Cost per unit of
material X and Y are Rs.2.50 per unit and Rs.0.25 per unit respectively. The selling price
per unit of Rice and Wheat are Rs.12 and Rs.16 respectively. Formulate LPP model.
3. ?Model-building is the essence of Operations Research approach?. Discuss.
