SECTION A

MODULE 1: DISCRETE MATHEMATICS

Answer BOTH questions.

l. (a) A farmeq in the business of growing fodder for livestock, has 50 acres available for planting
alfalfa and corn. The cost ofalfalfa seeds is $60 per acre, and the cost ofcorn seeds is
$45 per acre. The total cost of labour will amount to $40 per acre for alfalfa and $80 per
acre for corn. The farmer does not wish to spend more than $2700 for seeds and $3200
for labour. The income per acre from alfalfa is $l l0 and that from corn is $ l 50.

(i) Using x to represent the number of acres planted with alfalfa and y to represent
the number of acres planted with corn, formulate a linear programming problem
for the information given. State clearly the maximizing function.

[5 marksl

(ii) On the grid provided on page 5, draw all the lines defined by the constraints and
shade the feasible region which satisfies ALL of these constraints. [8 marks]

s. (a) Two particles, A and B of masses (m + 3) kg and rz kg respectively are connected by a

light inextensible string which passes over a fixed, smooth, light pulley located at the edge
of a table. The system is initially held at rest with B hanging freely at the end of the string
that hangs over the edge of the table, while A rests on the rough surface of the table. The
coefficient of friction between Particle A and the surface is 0.36. The acceleration of the
system is 2.5 ms 2 when the system is released.

(i) Draw a diagram to illustrate this information, showing the forces acting on the
system.
