A furniture form manufactures chairs and tables, each requiring the use of three machines A, B and C. Production of one chair requires 2 hours on machine A, 1 hour on machine B, and 1 hour on machine C. Each table requires 1 hour each on machines A and B and 3 hours on machine C. Profit realized by selling one chair is Rs. 30 while for a table the figure is Rs. 60. The total time available per week on machine A is 70 hours, on machine B is 40 hours, and on machine C is 90 hours. How many chairs and table should be made per week so as to maximize profit? Develop a mathematical formulation.

Answer

Maximize `Z = 30x + 60y` subject to: `2x + y le 70, x + y le 40, x + 3y le 90, x,y ge 0`.
