Answer #1

Let X1, X2, X3 be the number of sheds i.e. Shed I, Shed II, Shed III respectively that can be produced from the available hours of Stamping, Painting and Packing.

Equations will be as following:

3X1+X2+3X3 = 1400

2X1+2X2+2X3 = 1200

X1+2X2+4X3 = 1700

Using Gaussian elimination for 3 by 3 matrices
Matrix as following:
3 1 3 1400
A= 2 2 2 B= 1200
1 2 4 1700
Normalizing the Matrix
1 0.333333 1 466.6667
A= 2 2 2 B= 1200
1 2 4 1700
Eliminating
1 0.333333 1 466.6667
A= 0 1.333333 0 B= 266.6667
0 1.666667 3 1233.333
Normalizing the Matrix
1 0.333333 1 466.6667
A= 0 1 0 B= 200
0 1.666667 3 1233.333
Eliminating
1 0 1 400
A= 0 1 0 B= 200
0 0 3 900
Normalizing the Matrix
1 0 1 400
A= 0 1 0 B= 200
0 0 1 300
Normalizing the Matrix
1 0 0 100
A= 0 1 0 B= 200
0 0 1 300

Thus, number of sheds that can be produced from the available hours of stamping, painting and packing are as following:

Shed 1 = 100 units

Shed 2 = 200 units

Shed 3 = 300 units
