The standard weight of a special purpose brick is 5kg and it contains two basic ingredients B1 and B2, B1 cost Rs.5 per kg and B2 cost Rs.8 per kg. Strength consideration dictate that the brick contains not more than 4 kg of B1 and a minimum of 2kg of B2. Since the demand for the product is likely to be related to the price of the brick, find graphically the minimum cost of the brick satisfying the above conditions

An airline company ha drawn up a new flight schedule involving five flights. To assist in allocating five pilots to the flights, it has asked them to state their
preference scores by giving each flight a number out of 10. The higher the
number. the greater is the preference. Certain of these flights are unsuitable to
some pilots owing to domestic reasons. These have been marked with a 'X'.
| Flight Number | ||||||

A bakery keeps stock of popular brand of cake. Previous experience shows the daily demand pattern for the item with associated probabilities as given below:
Use the following sequence of random number to simulate the demand for the next 10 days.
Random numbers: 25,39,65,76,12,05,73,89,19,49.
Also estimate the daily average the daily average demand for the cakes on the basis of simulated data.
