Here is a breakdown of the problems from your document:

1. **Graphical method for LP problem**:
   - **Objective**: Maximize \( Z = 2x_1 + x_2 \)
   - **Subject to constraints**:
     - \( x_1 + 2x_2 \leq 10 \)
     - \( x_1 + x_2 \leq 6 \)
     - \( x_1 - x_2 \leq 2 \)
     - \( x_1 - 2x_2 \leq 1 \)
     - \( x_1, x_2 \geq 0 \)
   - You are asked to solve this using the **graphical method** and verify it using **Excel Solver**.

2. **Production optimization for ABC Company**:
   - **Objective**: Maximize profit from producing AM and AM-FM radios.
   - **Constraints**:
     - Production time: 48 hours/week.
     - AM radio takes 2 hours, contributes Rs 40 to profit.
     - AM-FM radio takes 3 hours, contributes Rs 80 to profit.
     - Sales limits: 15 AM radios, 10 AM-FM radios.
   - Part (a): Formulate this as a linear programming (LP) model.
   - Part (b): Solve the problem graphically.

3. **Cost minimization for production of products A and B**:
   - **Objective**: Minimize production cost of A (gallons) and B (quintals) across two plants.
   - **Constraints**:
     - Each plant works up to 16 hours/day.
     - Time and cost to produce A and B differ between plants.
     - Minimum production requirements: 10,000 gallons of A and 8 quintals of B.
   - Formulate the LP problem to minimize costs while satisfying these requirements.
