Q.A furniture dealer deals in tables and chairs. He has Rs.1,50,000 to invest and a space to store at most 60 pieces. A table costs him Rs.1500 and a chair Rs.750. Construct the inequations and find the feasible solution.

Let xx = number of tables and yy = number of chairs. The budget gives 1500x+750y≤1,50,0001500x+750y\le1{,}50{,}000, which simplifies (divide by 750) to 2x+y≤2002x+y\le200. The storage space gives x+y≤60x+y\le60. Together with x≥0,y≥0x\ge0,y\ge0, we graph both lines: 2x+y=2002x+y=200 meets the axes at (100,0)(100,0) and (0,200)(0,200), while x+y=60x+y=60 meets them at (60,0)(60,0) and (0,60)(0,60). Since even the extreme cases x=60,y=0x=60,y=0 (cost Rs.90,000) and x=0,y=60x=0,y=60 (cost Rs.45,000) both use far less than the Rs.1,50,000 budget, the line 2x+y=2002x+y=200 never actually cuts into the triangle bounded by x+y≤60x+y\le60 and the axes — the budget constraint is 'slack' (non-binding) throughout. So the true feasible re …
