A company sells two different products A and B. The products are produced in a common production process which has total capacity of 500 man hours. It takes 5 hours to produce a unit of A and 3 hours to produce a unit of B. The demand in the market shows that the maximum number of units of A that can sold is 70 and that of B is 125. Profit on each unit of A is Rs. 20 and on B is Rs.15. How many units of A and B should be produced to maximise the profit? Form an L.P.P and solve it graphically.
