Find the optimal mix of two possible blending processes


The manager of the Boilen Oil Company wishes to find the optimal mix of two possible Blending processes. For Processl, an input of one unit of Crude Oil A and three units of Crude Oil B produces an output of five units of Gasoline X and two units of Gasoline Y. For Process 2, an input of four units of Crude Oil A and two units of Crude Oil B produces an output of three units of Gasoline X and eight units of Gasoline Y. Let xi and x2, be the number of units the company decides to use of Process 1 and Process 2, respectively. The maximum amount of Crude Oil A available is 100 units and of Crude Oil B, 150 units. Sales commitments require that at least 200 units of Gasoline X and 75 units of Gasoline Y are produced. The unit profits of Process 1 and Process 2 are pi and p2 respectively. Formulate the blending problem as a linear programming model.
