UNDERSTAND
1. Read the following passage
There is no dearth of fake patriotism in the world to disguise one’s weakness of failure in
administration and planning. It rather becomes an instrument in the hands of dictators and selfish rulers to keep
their position safe. One can hear the slogans of patriotism on both the sides of the line of demarcation in the
Indian sub-continent. When there is dissatisfaction among the masses these slogans would be raised—‘danger is
lurking on the borders’, ‘the enemy is making preparation to attack our country’. This is not patriotism but
perverse thinking for selfish motives. Patriotism does not require a whip to rouse the sentiments of the people—
if it is true patriotism. The unity achieved during war may be a result of apprehension of slavery, not necessarily
true emotion generated by patriotism. It is in the blood of the people to mould their life according to the needs of
the motherland. It is not in the expediency to create circumstances befitting one’s own interests. It is rather
regrettable that patriotism is the greatest casualty in almost all the fields in our country. Political expediency and
self-motives have become supreme, to the extent that even to talk of patriotism is labeled as puerile of
reactionary. Let us take inspiration from the young girl who wept and cried bitterly for she could not offer
flowers on the war memorial in London, for none of her forefathers had laid his life for the cause of the nation.
Let us inculcate this noble spirit among people if we have to bring back the glory that was India.
Answer the following question.
a) Show the effect of fake patriotism?
b) When are the slogans of patriotism raised?
c) Is this type of patriotism real patriotism? Whom does it benefit?
d) Is the unity during war real patriotism? Does true patriotism require any instigation?
e) What does the author regret?
f) Explain the result of political expediency and selfish motives?
g) Why did the little girl cry bitterly? Do we learn anything from her?
h) Locate the synonym of the word ‘conceal’ from the passage.
i) Find the antonym of the word ‘cheerful’ from the passage.
j) Suggest a suitable title to the passage.

1. Consider two alternative water resource projects, A and B. Project A will cost 2,500,000 and will
return 1,000,000 at the end of 5 years and 4,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Project B will cost
4,000,000 and will return 2,000,000 at the end of 5 and 15 years, and another 3,000,000 at the end of
10 years. Project A has a life of 10 years, and B has a life of 15 years. Assuming an interest rate of 0.1
(10%) per year:
(a) What is the present value of each project?
(b) What is each project’s annual net benefit?
(c) Would the preferred project differ if the interest rates were 0.05?
(d) Assuming that each of these projects would be replaced with a similar project having the same time
stream of costs and returns, show that by extending each series of projects to a common terminal year
(e.g., 30 years), the annual net benefits of each series of projects would be will be same as found in part
(b).
2. Assume water can be allocated to three users. The allocation, xj, to each use j provides the following
returns: R(x1) = (12x1 – x1 2 ), R(x2) = (8x2 – x22) and R(x3) = (18x3 – 3x32 ). Assume that the
objective is to maximize the total return, F(X), from all three allocations and that the sum of all
allocations cannot exceed 10. a) How much would each use like to have? b) Show that at the maximum
total return solution the marginal values, (R (xj))/ xj are each equal to the shadow price or Lagrange
multiplier (dual variable) λ associated with the constraint on the amount of water available. c) Finally,
without resolving a Lagrange multiplier problem, what would the solution be if 15 units of water were
available to allocate to the three users and what would be the value of the Lagrange multiplier?
APPLY
1. Assume that the objective was to minimize the sum of squared deviations of the actual allocations xj
from some desired or known target allocations Tj. Given a supply of water Q less than the sum of all
target allocations Tj, structure a planning model and its corresponding Lagrangian. Will a global
minimum be obtained from solving the partial differential equations derived from the Lagrangian?
Why?

town, it was decided expand its water supply system with an existing capacity of 10 units to
the ultimate requirement of 40 units by the end of 15 years from now, in stages of 5 years
each. The present worth of cost of expansion at any stage is estimated to be equal to the
square of the number of units added at that stage. The capacity requirement is estimated to be
15, 25 and 40 units by the end of 5, 10 and 15 years from now. Determine how many units
should be added at each stage for minimum total cost of capacity expansion over 15 year
planning horizon. Capacity can be added only in 5 unit increments

3. Consider a system composed of a manufacturing factory and a waste treatment plant owned by the
manufacturer. The manufacturing plant produces finished goods that sell for a unit price of Rs 10,000.
However, the finished goods cost Rs 3,000 per unit to produce. In the manufacturing process two units
of waste are generated for each unit of finished goods produced. In addition to deciding how many
units of goods to produce, the plant manager must also decide how much waste will be discharged into
a river without treatment so that the total net benefit to the company can be maximized and the water
quality requirement of the water course is met. The treatment plant has a maximum capacity of treating
ten units of waste with 80% waste removal efficiency at a treatment cost of Rs 600 per unit of waste.
There is also an effluent tax imposed on the waste discharged to the receiving water body (Rs 2,000 for
each unit of waste discharged). The water pollution control authority has set an upper limit of four units
on the amount of waste the company may discharge. Formulate an LP model clearly specifying the
decision variables, Objective function and constraints and solve it using both graphical method as well
as simplex method.
