A dealer in rural area wishes to purchase a number of sewing machines. He has only Rs 5670 to invest and has a space for at most 20 items. An electronic sewing machine costs him Rs 360 and manually operated sewing machine Rs 240. He can sell electronic sewing machine at a profit of Rs 22 and a manually operated sewing machine at a profit of Rs 18. Assumning that he can sell all the items that he can buy, how should he invest his money in order to maximize his profit. Make it a linear programming problem and solve it graphically. Keeping the rural background in mind justify the values to be promoted for the selection of the manually operated machine.
