It takes Rs. 1800 to make a black and white set and Rs. 2700 to make a coloured set. The company can spend not more than Rs. 6,48,000 a week to make television sets. It makes a profit of Rs. 510 per black and white set and Rs. 675 per coloured set. Assuming x and y respectively are the number of black and white, and coloured sets made each week, answer the questions :

The maximum profit per week is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Evaluate z=510x+675yz = 510x + 675y at each corner:

z(0,0)=0z(0,0) = 0

z(300,0)=153000z(300,0) = 153000

z(180,120)=91800+81000=172800z(180,120) = 91800 + 81000 = 172800

z(0,240)=162000z(0,240) = 162000

Maximum profit is Rs. 1,72,800 at (180,120)(180, 120).
