A company makes two types of cakes: type A and type B. it costs ₹ 360 to make a type A cake and ₹ 120 to make a type B cake. The company can make atmost 300 cakes and spend atmost ₹ 72,000 a day, the number of cakes of type B (yy) cannot exceed the number of type A (xx) cakes by more than 200.

The company makes a profit of ₹ 200 on each type A cake and ₹ 50 on each type B cake. A LPP to maximize the profit (₹) is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Cost constraint: 360x+120y≤72000360x+120y\le 72000, which simplifies to 3x+y≤6003x+y\le 600.

Production limit: x+y≤300x+y\le 300.

"y cannot exceed x by more than 200" means y−x≤200y-x\le 200, i.e. y≤x+200y\le x+200.

Profit to maximise is Z=200x+50yZ=200x+50y.
