a. Explain the graphical method of solving Linear Programming Problem.

b. A paper mill produces two grades of paper viz., X and Y. Because of raw material
restrictions, it cannot produce more than 400 tons of grade X paper and 300 tons of grade
Y paper in a week. There are 160 production hours in a week. It requires 0.20 and 0.40
hours to produce a ton of grade X and Y papers. The mill earns a profit of Rs. 200 and Rs.
500 per ton of grade X and Y paper respectively. Formulate this as a Linear Programming
Problem.
