- Explain six applications of operations research in managerial decision making.
- Solve the following linear programming problem using Simplex method.
Maximize z = 6x+6y
Subject to constraints--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
3x + 2y = 18
5x + 4y = 40
x, y = 0 - Solve the following transportation problem to minimize the cost of transportation from factories to the markets. The cost of transporting each unit from each factory to each market is given in the matrix. Also given, the demand from each market and the capacity of each factory (in '000 units). Find the total cost of transportation for the optimal allocation.

The distance between each customer's location and others in km is given in the matrix below. Identify the best sequence of visiting each customer so that he covers the minimum distance in doing so. How much is this optimal distance?

If the firms adopt different standards, few sales result. A common standard leads to higher sales. One technology is significantly preferred by consumers over the other. Thus, if the companies can standardize on the preferred technology, each obtains maximal profits. The payoff matrix is given below. Solve the game and find the optimal solution. Also find the value of the game. Is it a pure or a mixed game?
Firm 2 Good Bad Firm 1 Good 5,5 0,0 Bad 0,0 3,3 - Five jobs are to be done on three machines M1, M2, M3. Find the optimal sequence for the jobs using special case of Johnsons rule. Find the idle time on each machine and the total time needed to complete all the jobs.

The counter service rate is an average of 1 minute per customer following exponential distribution. Find the average waiting time of the customers in the queue and in the bank. Also calculate the average number of customers in the bank and the average length of the queue. What is the probability of the counter being empty?
- (a) How will you find the probability of completing a PERT project by a particular due date?
(b) Explain crashing of project networks.
