Use the simplex method & solve step by step.?

Question

The ABC company combines factors X & Y TO FROM a product which must weigh 50 kg of X & no more than 40 kg of Y can be used. X cost Rs. 25/kg & Y cost Rs. 10/kg. Use the simplex method to find the amounts of factor X& Y. which should be used for manufacturing the concerned product.

Answer 1

I can formulate the LP for you, but I won't be able to solve it for you because I can't draw any tableaux here on Yahoo! Answers.

I'm assuming you want to minimize cost.

LP Formulation:

Let X be the weight of X

Let Y be the weight of Y

Minimize 25x + 10y

Subject To:

X = 50

0 ≤ Y ≤ 40

Now just use the Simplex Method to solve the LP.
