3. (a) A farmer has 80 hectares of his farm for planting maize and cabbages. He must grow
at least 10 hectares of maize and 20 hectares of cabbages to meet demand. He prefers
to plant more cabbages than maize but his work force and equipment will only allow
him to cultivate a maximum of three times the quantity of cabbages to that of maize.
If the profit of maize is Tsh 8,000/= per hectare and on cabbages is Tsh 5,000/= per
hectare, formulate thuis a Linear Programming problem.
(b) Two suppliers of sweets F and G are capable of supplying not more thanm 40kg and
35kg of sweets respectively. The supplier is required to supply sweets top three day
care schools X, Y and Z. The daily schools requirenmwents are 30kg, 25kg and 20kg
for schools X, Y and Z respectively. The distance n kiklometres from the suppliers to
the respective school are tabulated in the following table.
