Question is modified
A furniture dealer deals in tables and chairs. He has ₹ 15,000 to invest and a space to store at most 60 pieces. A table costs him ₹ 150 and a chair ₹ 750. Construct the inequations and find the feasible solution.
Solution:
Let x be the number of tables and y be the number of chairs. Then x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
The dealer has a space to store at most 60 pieces.
∴ x + y ≤ 60
Since, the cost of each table is ₹ 150 and that of each chair is ₹ 750, the total cost of x tables and y chairs is 150x + 750y. Since the dealer has ₹ 15,000 to invest, 150x + 750y ≤ 15,000
Hence the system of inequations are
x + y ≤ 60, 150x + 750y ≤ 15000, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
First we draw the lines AB and CD whose equations are x + y = 60 and 150x + 750y = 15,000 respectively.
The feasible solution is OAPDO. which is shaded in the graph.
