2. What is LPP ???
• Optimization technique
• Tofind optimal value of objective function, i.e.
maximum or minimum
• “LINEAR” means all mathematical functions
are required to be linear…
• “PROGRAMMING” refers to Planning, not
computer programming…

3. What is graphical method ???
• One of the LPP method
• Used to solve 2 variable problems of LPP…
KRATIKA DHOOT
4. Steps for graphical method…
FORMULATE THE
PROBLEM
( for objective &
constraints functions)
FRAME THE GRAPH
( one variable on
horizontal & other at
vertical axes)
PLOT THE CONSTRAINTS
(inequality to be as equality;
give arbitrary value to variables
& plot the point on graph )
PLOT THE GRAPH
( one variable on
horizontal & other
at vertical axes)
OUTLINE THE
SOLUTION AREA
( area which satisfies
the constraints)
CIRCLE POTENTIAL
SOLUTION POINTS
( the intersection
points of all
constraints)
SUBSTITUTE & FIND

5. LET US TAKE AN EXAMPLE!!!
SMALL SCALE
ELECTRICAL
REGULATORS
INDUSTRY
ACCOMPLISHED BY
SKILLED MEN &
WOMEN WORKERS
BUT NUMBER OF
WORKERS CAN’T
EXCEED 11
MALE WORKERS ARE
PAID Rs.6,000pm &
FEMALE WORKERS ARE
PAID Rs.5,000pm
SALARY BILL NOT
MORE THAN Rs.
60,000 pm
DATACOLLECTED
FOR THE
PERFORMANCE
DATAINDICATED MALE MEMBERS
CONTRIBUTES Rs.10,000pm &
FEMALE MEMBERS CONTRIBUTES
Rs.8,500pm
DETERMINE No. OF MALES &
FEMALES TO BE EMPLOYED IN
ORDER TO MAXIMIZE TOTAL
RETURN
KRATIKA DHOOT
6. STEP 1-FORMULATE THE PROBLEM
Objective Function :-
Let no. of males be x & no. of females be y
Maximize Z = Contribution of Male members +
contribution of Female members
Subjected ToConstraints :-
Max Z = 10,000x + 8,500y
x + y ≤ 11
6,000x + 5,000y ≤ 60,000
………..(1)
………..(2)
KRATIKA DHOOT
7. STEP 2- FRAME THE GRAPH
• Let no. of Male Workers(x) be on horizontal axis
& no. of Female Workers (y) be vertical axis..
No. of
females
No. of males
KRATIKA DHOOT
8. STEP 3- PLOT THE CONSTRAINTS
• Toplot the constraints, we will opt an arbitrary
value to the variables as:-
x + y ≤ 11:- converting as x + y = 11
6,000x+5,000y≤60,000:- converting as 6x + 5y= 60
x 0 11
y 11 0
x 0 10
y 12 0
KRATIKA DHOOT
13. CONCLUSION
• Thus, maximum total return is about
Rs.1,01,000 by adopting 5 male workers & 6
female workers.
• Hence, optimal solution for LPP is :-
No. of male workers = 5
No. of female workers = 6
Max. Z = Rs. 1,01,000

14. Let us take other example!!!
• Find the maximum value of objective function
s.t.
Z= 4x + 2y
x + 2y ≥ 4
3x + y ≥ 7
-x + 2y ≤ 7
& x ≥ 0 & y ≥ 0
KRATIKA DHOOT
15. PLOT THE CONSTRAINTS
x + 2y = 4
3x + y = 7
-x + 2y = 7
x 0 4
y 2 0
x 0 7/3
y 7 0
x 0 -7
y 7/2 0
