This document presents a linear programming problem and a transportation problem to determine the optimal allocation of scarce resources and plant location.
For the linear programming problem, the optimal solution is to produce 20 units of Product A and 30 units of Product B, using a total of 140 units of platinum and 120 units of gold.
For the transportation problem, setting up the new plant in city D would maximize aggregate profits at Rs. 43,100, compared to Rs. 39,700 if located in city C. The optimal solution is to locate the new plant in city D.
