30. A firm makes two products X and Y, and has a total production capacity of 9 tonnes
per day, X and Y requiring the same production capacity. The firm has a permanent
contract to supply at least two tonnes of X and at least 3 tonnes of Y per day to
another company, each tonne of X requires 20 machine hours production time and
each tonne of Y requires 50 machine hours production time the daily maximum
possible number of machine hours is 360. All the first out put can be sold and the
profit made is Rs 80 per tonne of X and Rs 120 tonne of Y. It is required to determine
schedule for maximum profit and calculate this profit.
x 1=2, x 2=4, x 3=1
