In a small scale regulators industry, the total number of male and female workers cannot exceed 11.
Male workers are paid Rs.6000/-pm and female workers are paid Rs.5000/-pm. And the salary bill
should not exceed Rs.60,000/-pm. The data on performance of contribution of the workers were
calculated to be Rs.10,000/- pm for male workers and Rs.8500/- for female workers. Determine the
number of males and females to be employed to maximise the total return.
