 SECTION C (4x3=12)
15. Two products A and B are produced such that 0.4 ton of A and 0.7 ton of B are
required to produce one ton of A. Similarly, 0.1 ton of A and 0.6 ton of B are

0.1 unit of steel and 0.5 unit of lumber to make one unit of steel. It takes 0.2 units
of steel and 0 unit of lumber to make one unit of lumber. The economy will export
16 units of steel and 8 units of lumber next month. How many units of steel and
lumber will they need to produce to meet the external demand?

 SECTION D (2x5=10)

19. A manufacturer has three machines I, II and III installed in his factory. Machines I
and II are capable of being operated for at most 12 hours whereas machine III
must be operated at least 5 hours a day. He produces only two items M and N each
requiring the use of all the three machines. The number of hours required for
producing 1 unit of each of M and N on the three machines are given in the
following table:

He makes a profit of ₹600 and ₹400 on each item of M and N respectively. How
many units of each item should he produce so as to maximize his profit assuming that
he can sell all the items that he produced? What will be the maximum profit?

20. Solve the following system of linear equations by Cramer’s rule:

6𝑥 + 𝑦 − 3𝑧 − 5 = 0
𝑥 + 3𝑦 − 2𝑧 − 5 = 0
2𝑥 + 𝑦 + 4𝑧 − 8 = 0
OR

Solve the following system of linear equations by Cramer’s rule:

(𝑎 + 𝑏)𝑥 − (𝑎 − 𝑏)𝑦 = 4𝑎𝑏
