Chapter 3.9, Problem 14P
Program Plan Intro
Linear
- The linear programming (LP) is also known as linear optimization.
- Consider a mathematical model, and its requirements are used to represent by the linear relationships. The linear programming is the best method to achieve the best outcome of this mathematical model. The outcomes may be, maximum profit or lower cost.
- The linear optimization is also called as mathematical optimization because, it is a special case of mathematical programming.
- More formally, the LP is a technique for optimizing linear objective function subject to constraints of linear equality and linear inequality.

A farmer in Georgia has a 100-acre farm on which to plant watermelons and cantaloupes. Every acre planted with watermelons requires 50 gallons of water per day and must be prepared for planting with 20 pounds of fertilizer. Every acre planted with cantaloupes requires 75 gallons of water per day and must be prepared for planting with 15 pounds of fertilizer. The farmer estimates that it will take 2 hours of labor to harvest each acre planted with watermelons and 2.5 hours to harvest each acre planted with cantaloupes. He believes that watermelons will sell for about $3 each, and cantaloupes will sell for about $1 each. Every acre planted with watermelons is expected to yield 90 salable units. Every acre planted with cantaloupes is expected to yield 300 salable units. The farmer can pump about 6,000 gallons of water per day for irrigation purposes from a shallow well. He can buy as much fertilizer as he needs at a cost of $10 per 50-pound bag. Finally, the farmer can hire laborers to…
Problem 5. An Electricity board charges the following rates mentioned in the table for the use of
electricity. All users are charged Taka 50 as a meter charge for every month. If any user wants
to change/replace his meter, he will be charged taka 2000. The monthly bill will be generated
based on
● Customer Category
● Consumed Units
● Phase
● For Category 3 and 5 along with other parameters, you need to also consider flat
rate, peak time, and off-peak time. Take input from the user, how many units were
consumed during flat rate, peak, or off-peak time.
● Meter Charge
Write a program to read the name of the user, Customer Category, Phase, number of
units consumed and print out the monthly bill.
Note that
● Phase, flat rate, peak time and off-peak time will be appeared based on the customer
category.
● The monthly bill will be calculated following the number of Days in a month
