(b) In order to maintain good relations with Supplier C, you must order at least 120 sets of sheets from them. (c) There is a rivalry between supplier B and D. To maintain a good relationship with both suppliers, you must order at least as many sets of sheets from supplier D as you do fronm supplier B. (d) Each supplier has a limited number of sets of sheets available, as shown in the table. Formulate a linear optimization model for procurement of sheets at the lowest cost.
