$A$ cottage industry manufactures pedestal lamps and wooden shades,each requiring the use of a grinding/cutting machine and a sprayer. It takes $2 \text{ hours}$ on the grinding/cutting machine and $3 \text{ hours}$ on the sprayer to manufacture a pedestal lamp. It takes $1 \text{ hour}$ on the grinding/cutting machine and $2 \text{ hours}$ on the sprayer to manufacture a shade. On any day,the sprayer is available for at most $20 \text{ hours}$ and the grinding/cutting machine for at most $12 \text{ hours}$. The profit from the sale of a lamp is $Rs. 5$ and that from a shade is $Rs. 3$. Assuming that the manufacturer can sell all the lamps and shades that he produces,how should he schedule his daily production in order to maximise his profit?

  • A
    $4$ lamps and $4$ shades
  • B
    $6$ lamps and $0$ shades
  • C
    $0$ lamps and $10$ shades
  • D

$A$ manufacturing company produces two items,$A$ and $B$. Each item must be processed by two machines,$I$ and $II$. Machine $I$ can be operated for a maximum of $10$ hours $40$ minutes ($640$ minutes). It takes $20$ minutes for an item $A$ and $15$ minutes for an item $B$. Machine $II$ can be operated for a maximum of $8$ hours $20$ minutes ($500$ minutes). It takes $5$ minutes for an item $A$ and $8$ minutes for an item $B$.
