A petroleum refinery sells two products petrol and fuel oil. Net profit
from petrol is Rs. 160 per barrel and fuel oil is Rs. 80 per barrel. There are two
constraints storage capacity is limited to 5000 gallons for petrol and 12000 gallons
for fuel oil. The refining plant has a maximum capacity of 27000 units. Each gallon
of petrol requires 3 units of refining capacity and each gallon of fuel oil requires 2
units.
(a): Formulate the LP problem.

Given : A petroleum refinery sells two products petrol and fuel oil. Net profit from petrol is Rs. 160 per barrel and fuel oil is Rs. 80 per barrel. There are two constraints storage capacity is limited to 5000 gallons for petrol and 12000 gallons for fuel oil. The refining plant has a maximum capacity of 27000 units. Each gallon of petrol requires 3 units of refining capacity and each gallon of fuel oil requires 2 units.
To Find : Formulate the LP problem.
Solution:
X = unit of Petrol
Y = unit of Fuel oil
X ≤ 5000
Y ≤ 12000
3X + 2Y ≤ 27000
Z = 160X + 80Y Z is Profit
points on boundary
( 5000 , 0) , ( 5000 , 6000) , ( 1000 , 12000) , (0 , 12000)
Z = 160X + 80Y
X Y Z = 160X + 80Y
5000 0 800000
5000 6000 1400000
1000 12000 1120000
0 12000 960000
Maximum profit at , ( 5000 , 6000)
Petrol = 5000 unit
Fuel oil = 6000 unit
