Question22.

A toy company manufactures two types of dolls, A and B. Market tests and available
resources have indicated that the combined production level should not exceed
1200 dolls per week and the demand for doll of type B is at most half of that for
dolls of type A. Furter the production level of dolls of type A can exveed three times
the production of dolls of other type by at most 600 units. If the company makes
profit of ₹12 and ₹16 per doll respectively on dolls A and B, how many of each
should be produced weekly in order to maximise the profit?
