Let’s assume the man covers x km on his motorcycle at the speed of 50km/hr and covers y km at the speed of 50 km/hr and covers y km at the speed of 80 km/hr.
So, cost of petrol = 2x + 3y
The man has to spend Rs 120 atmost on petrol
⇒ 2x + 3y ≤ 120 …. (i)
Now, the man has only 1 hr time
So, x/50 + y/80 ≤ 1 ⇒ 8x + 5y ≤ 400 … (ii)
And, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
To have maximum distance Z = x + y.
Therefore, the required LPP to travel maximum distance is maximize Z = x + y, subject to the constraints
2x + 3y ≤ 120, 8x + 5y ≤ 400, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
