A farmer has 100 acre farm. He can sell all tomatoes, lettuce or radishes and can rise the price to obtain Rs 1.00 per kg for tomatoes, Rs 0.75 a head for lettuce and Rs 2.00 per kg for radishes. The average yields per acre is 2000 kgs of tomatoes, 3000 heads of lettuce and 1000 kgs of radishes. Fertilizers are available at Rs 0.50 per kg and the amount required per acre is 100 kgs each for tomatoes and lettuce and 50 kgs for radishes. Labour required for sowing, cultivating and harvesting per acre is 5 man days for tomatoes and radishes and 6 man days for lettuce. A total of 400 man days of labour are available at Rs 20 per man day. Formulate this problem as a linear programming model to maximize the farmer's total profit.

ABC Limited has three production shops supplying a product to 5 warehouses . The cost of production varies from shop to shop, cost of transportation from shop to shop cost of transportation from shop to warehouses also varies. Each shop has a specific production capacity of each warehouse has certain amount of requirement. The cost of transportation are as given below:
Find the optimum quantity to be supplied from each shop to different warehouse at minimum cost.

Arrival rate of telephone call at a telephone booth are according to Poisson distribution. With an average time of 9 minutes between two consecutive arrivals. The length of telephone call is assumed to be exponentially distributed with mean 3 minutes. i) Determine the probability that a person arriving at the booth will have to wait.
ii) Find the average queue length.
iii) The telephone company will install a second booth when convinced that an arrival would expect to have to wait at least 4 minutes for the phone. Find the increase in flow rate of arrivals which will justify a second booth.
iv) What is the probability that he will have to wait for more than 10 minute before the phone is free?
