$A$ manufacturer of electronic circuits has a stock of $200$ resistors,$120$ transistors and $150$ capacitors and is required to produce two types of circuits $A$ and $B$. Type $A$ requires $20$ resistors,$10$ transistors and $10$ capacitors. Type $B$ requires $10$ resistors,$20$ transistors and $30$ capacitors. If the profit on type $A$ circuit is $Rs. 50$ and that on type $B$ circuit is $Rs. 60$,formulate this problem as a $LPP$ so that the manufacturer can maximize his profit.

Let the manufacturer produce $x$ units of type $A$ circuits and $y$ units of type $B$ circuits.
From the given information,we have the following corresponding constraint table:
Component Type $A$ $(x)$ Type $B$ $(y)$ Maximum Stock
Resistors $20$ $10$ $200$
Transistors $10$ $20$ $120$
Capacitors $10$ $30$ $150$
Profit $Rs. 50$ $Rs. 60$ -

Thus,the objective function for profit is $Z = 50x + 60y$.
Now,we have the following mathematical model for the given problem:
Maximize $Z = 50x + 60y$
Subject to the constraints:
$20x + 10y \leq 200$ (Resistors constraint) $\Rightarrow 2x + y \leq 20$
$10x + 20y \leq 120$ (Transistors constraint) $\Rightarrow x + 2y \leq 12$
$10x + 30y \leq 150$ (Capacitors constraint) $\Rightarrow x + 3y \leq 15$
$x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ (Non-negativity constraints)
So,the $LPP$ is to maximize $Z = 50x + 60y$ subject to $2x + y \leq 20, x + 2y \leq 12, x + 3y \leq 15, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

An airplane can carry a maximum of $250$ passengers. $A$ profit of $\text{Rs } 1500$ is made on each executive class ticket and a profit of $\text{Rs } 900$ is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least $30$ seats for executive class. Also, at least $4$ times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class than by executive class. Let $x_1$ be the number of passengers in executive class and $x_2$ be the number of passengers in economy class. Formulate the Linear Programming Problem $(LPP)$ to maximize the profit for the airline.

$A$ manufacturer produces two models of bikes: Model $X$ and Model $Y$. Model $X$ takes $6$ man-hours to make per unit,while Model $Y$ takes $10$ man-hours per unit. There is a total of $450$ man-hours available per week. Handling and marketing costs are $Rs. 2000$ and $Rs. 1000$ per unit for Models $X$ and $Y$ respectively. The total funds available for these purposes are $Rs. 80,000$ per week. Profits per unit for Models $X$ and $Y$ are $Rs. 1000$ and $Rs. 500$ respectively. How many bikes of each model should the manufacturer produce so as to yield a maximum profit? Find the maximum profit.
