2x + 2y – z   ≥  2

3x – 4y         £  3

  1. b) An airline that operates seven days a week between Delhi and Jaipur has the time-table

as shown below.  Crews must have a minimum layover of 5 hours between flights.

Obtain the pairing of flights that minimizes layover time away from home.  Note that

crews flying from A to B and back can be based either at A or at B.  For any given

pairing, he crew will be based at the city that results in smaller layover:

 

Flight No. Departure Arrival Flight No. Departure Arrival
1 7.00 a.m. 8.00 a.m 101 8.00 a.m. 9.15 a.m
2 8.00 a.m. 9.00 a.m 102 8.30 a.m. 9.45 a.m

  1. a) Solve the following unbalanced transportation problem:

 

To

1      2      3   Supply

From

Demand          75    20   50                                                                  (17 marks)

 

  1. b)  Consider the inventory problem with three items.  The parameters of the problem are

shown in the table.

 

Item Ki bI hi ai
1 Rs.500/- 2 units Rs.150/- 1 ft2
2 Rs.250/- 4 units Rs.  50/- 1 ft2
3 Rs.750/- 4 units Rs.100/- 1 ft2

 

Assume that the total available storage area is given by A = 20ft2.  Find the economic

order quantities for each item and determine the optimal inventory cost.      (17 marks)

Find the mean recurrence times of states 0, 1, 2.                                (17 marks)

 

  1. a) An infinite Markov chain on the set of non-negative integers has the transition function

as follows:

pk0 = (k+1) /(k+2)        and  pk,k+1 1/(k+2)

 

  1. Find whether the chain is positive recurrent, null recurrent or transient.
  2. Find the stationary distribution, incase its exists. (17 marks)

    Stiffness  Bending strength   Stiffness Bending strength
1,232 4,175 1,712 7,749
1,115 6,652 1,932 6,818
2,205 7,612 1,820 9,307
