2. A factory manufactures two articles “Chair” and “Table”. For chair a certain machine has to be worked for 3 hours and in addition a craftsman has to work for 4 hours. To manufacture the table, the machine has to be worked for 5 hours and in addition the craftsman has to work for 3 hours. In a week the factory can avail 160 hours of machine time and 140 hours of craftsman’s time. The profit on each chair is Rs.50 and that on each table is Rs.40. If all the articles produced can be sold, then find how many of chairs and tables be produced to earn the maximum profit per week. Formulate the problem as a Linear Programming Problem. Question
