This is regarding the LP question asked (Refer Q. No. 3(b)) of the question paper, refer attachment). Suppose we calculate the hours required to produce 30 units of product X(3) (which comes to 180 hrs. and 120 hrs. for machining and assembly respectively), and reduce the minimum available hours for the remaining two products for each deptt. In such a case, we are able to formulate an LPP in two variables only (for products X(1) and X(2)). The solution becomes simpler, as otherwise, a third constraint i.e. x(3) = 30 will have to be added. Will such an approach be considered correct in the exam?
