Concept:Formulating linear inequality constraints for resource allocation.
Explanation:Let
x = number of bags of Grade I fertilizer and
y = number of bags of Grade II fertilizer.
Plant A constraint:
6 hrs per bag of Grade I and
3 hrs per bag of Grade II, maximum
120 hrs →
6x+3y≤120.
Plant B constraint:
4 hrs per bag of Grade I and
10 hrs per bag of Grade II, maximum
180 hrs →
4x+10y≤180.
All constraints are non-strict inequalities (≤) because the usage cannot exceed the available time.
Answer:The correct mathematical representation is
6x+3y≤120 and
4x+10y≤180, which corresponds to option C.
