A furniture manufacturer produces chairs and tables. The wood-working department is capable of producing $$200$$ chairs or $$100$$ tables or any proportionate combinations of these per week. The weekly demand for chairs and tables is limited to $$150$$ and $$80$$ units respectively. The profit from a chair is Rs.$$100$$ and that from a table is Rs.$$300.$$

$$(a)$$ Set up the problem as a Linear Program
$$(b)$$ Determine the optimum product mix for maximizing the profit.
$$(c)$$ What is the maximum profit?
$$(d)$$ If the profit of each table drops to Rs.200 per unit, what is the optimal mix and profit?

Solve the following linear programming problem by simplex method

$$\eqalign{ & Maximize\,\,\,\,\,\,4{x_1} + 6{x_2} + {x_3} \cr & Subject\,\,to\,\,\,\,\,\,2{x_1} - {x_2} + 3{x_3}\, \le 5 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{x_1},{x_2},{x_3} \ge 0 \cr} $$

$$(a)$$$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ What is the solution to the above problem?

$$(b)$$$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Add the constant $${x_2} \le 2$$ to the simplex table of part $$(a)$$ and find the solution.
