The wage rate of grade 1 inspector is Rs 5 per hour while that of a grade 2 inspector is Rs 4 per hour. An error made by inspector costs Rs 3 per piece. There are only 9 grade 1 inspectors and 11 grade 2 inspectors available in the company. The company wishes to assign work to the available inspectors so as to minimise the total cost of inspection.
