P = 5x + 3y subject to the constraints
(i) 2x + y ≤ 12
(ii) 3x + 2y ≤ 20
(iii) x ≥0; y ≥0
ABCD is the solution region
A(0,0) P= 0 B(6,0) P = 5 x 6+3 x 0 = 30 Rs.
C(4,4) P = 5 x 4+3 x 4 = 32 Rs.
D(0,10) P = 5 x 0+3 x 10 = 30 Rs.
At C (4, 4) p is maximised to 32 Rs.
i.e. 4 pedestal lamps and 4 wooden shades.
