A manufacturer of a line of patent medicines is preparing a production plan of medicines A and B. There are sufficient ingredients available to make 20000 bottles of A and 40000 bottles of B but there are only 45000 bottles into which either of the medicines can be put. Furthermore is takes 3 hours to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of A, it takes one hour to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of B ad there are 66 hours available for this operations. The profit is Rs. 8/- per bottle of A and Rs. 7/- per bottle of B. Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem.
