Question:

A firm is engaged in producing two products, A and B. Each unit of product A requires 2 kg of raw material and 4 labour hours for processing, whereas each unit of product B requires 3 kg of raw material and 3 hours of labour, of the same type. Every week, the firm has an availability of 60 kg of raw material and 96 labour hours. One unit of product A sold yields Rs 40 and one unit of product B sold gives Rs 35 as profit.

Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem to determine as to how many units of each of the products should be produced per week so that the firm can earn the maximum profit. Assume that there is no marketing constraint so that all that is produced can be sold.
