Explanation of Solution

 Formulation of Linear program (LP) to maximize the revenue from candy sales:

 Let “xij” be the ounces of ingredient “i” used to make candy “j”.

  • Let ingredient 1 is sugar, 2 is nuts, and 3 is chocolate. The candy 1 is slugger candy and 2 is easy out candy.
  • The objective of function is to maximize the revenue from the candy sales.
  • Each ounce of out candy can be sold for 25 cents and each ounce of slugger candy can be sold for 20 cents.

 Therefore, the objection function is,

 Maximize, z=25(x12+x22+x32)+20(x11+x21+x31)

 Constraint 1:

 At present, 100 oz of sugar is in the stock.

 Ounces of sugar in slugger candy + ounces of sugar in easy out candy  100x11+x12100

 Constraint 2:

 At present, 20 oz of nuts is in the stock.

 Ounces of nuts in slugger candy + ounces of nuts in easy out candy  20x21+x2220

 Constraint 3:

 At present, 30 oz of nuts is in the stock.

 Ounces of chocolate in slugger candy + ounces of chocolate in easy out candy  30x31+x3230

 Constraint 4:

 At least, 20% of nuts must be there in easy out candy.

 20% of nuts in easy out candy 0.2

 x220.2(x12+x22+x32)

 Constraint 5:

 At least, 10% of nuts must be there in slugger candy.

 10% of nuts in slugger candy 0.1

 x210.1(x11+x21+x31)

 Constraint 6:

 At least, 10% of chocolate must be there in slugger candy

John is training for a marathon and he can easily alternate between running a mile and walking a mile. If he runs for 2 miles in a row, he becomes fatigued, and must then walk for 2 miles in a row in order to no longer be fatigued. When he is fatigued, he can still alternate between running a mile and walking a mile, but if he runs 2 miles in a row while already fatigued, he will collapse on the side of the road. If he runs 3 miles in a row at any point, he will also collapse. Let the letter 'a' stand for John running 1 mile, and the letter 'b' stand for John walking 1 mile. Draw a DFA which accepts all possible runs in which John does not collapse on the side of the road.
A company uses four special tank trucks to deliver four different gasoline products to customers. Eachtank has five compartments with capacities: 500, 750, 1200, 1500, and 1750 gallons. The daily demands forthe four products are 10000, 15000, 12000, and 8000 gallons. Any quantities that cannot be delivered by thecompany’s four trucks must be subcontracted at the additional costs of 5, 12, 8, and 10 cents per gallon forproducts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The goal is to develop the optimal daily loading schedule for the fourtrucks that will minimize the additional cost of subcontracting. Formulate this problem as an integer linearprogram, and solve it (not by hand).
You are given some tasks of size xK, yK and zK respectively and there are at most 9 tasks each. Determine the best that you could achieve if you are to fill up a hole of size SK, for the following values of x, y, z and S, by maximizing the space used (up to S), i.e. minimizing the used space, if any. Show how many tasks of size x, how many tasks of size y and how many tasks of size z are used in each of the three cases. (g) Now if we relax the requirement so that there are no upper limits on the number of tasks for each type, determine the maximal space usage and the task mix. (h) If we tighten the requirement so that there are still at most 9 tasks of each size, but we also require that each type of tasks must be used at least once, determine maximal space usage and the task mix. Case 1 2 3 X 22 26 28 y 33 43 65 50 77 74 S 488 556 777 You could complete the following table. Fill in the number of tasks inside the brackets and the corresponding maximal usage.
