Answer any three of the following questions. 3 x 5 = 15

2. A company makes two kinds of leather-belts A and B.

Their respective unit profits are Rs. 4 and, Rs. 3. One
bett of type A requires 2 hours and type B requires
t hour of time in making. The total man-hours available

are 1000 hours per day. Due to insufficient supply of

leather, the company can make only goo belts per day.

Only 4OO buckles for type A and 700 buckles for type B

are available. Formulate the problem as an L.p.p. and

solve it graphically.

3. In a supermarket, the average arrival rate of customer

is 10 every 3o minutes folrowing poisson process. The

average time taken by a cashier to list and calculate the

customer's purchase is 2's minutes following
