Answer one question from each MODULE. Six marks each
MODULE I
9. A company makes two kinds of leather belts and the respective profits are Rs.4 and Rs. 3
per belt. Each belt of type A requires twice as much time as abelt of type B requires, and
if all the belts are of type B, the company could make 1000 belts per day. The total
supply of leather is only for 800 belts per day. Belt A requires a fancy buckle and only
400 such buckles are available per day. There are only 700 buckles per day are available
for belt B. Formulate this as a LPP and solve it graphically.
10. Use Big-M method to solve the LPP:
Maximize z = x1 + 5x2
subject to
3x1 + 4x2 ≤ 6
x1 + 3x2 ≥ 2
where x1, x2 ≥ 0

MODULE V
17. Customers are arriving at a telephone booth according to a Poisson law with an average
inter arrival time of 12 minutes. The duration of a phone call is assumed to be exponentially
distributed with mean 4 minutes.
b. What is the probability of a person arriving at the booth will have to wait in the
queue?
d. What is the probability of a person taking more than 10 minutes to leave the booth?
e. What is the average length of the queue if the queue is always available?
18. A 2-person barber shop has 5 chairs to accommodate waiting customers. Customers who
arrive when all the 5 chairs are full leave without entering the barber shop. Customers arrive
at the average rate of 4 per hour and spend an average of 12 minutes in the barber’s chair.
