How many of each type should be made in order to maximize his total daily profit? Also, find the maximum daily profit.
Let x and y be number of deluxe article manufactured and ordinary article manufactured.
∴According to the question,
2x + y
, 2x + 3y ![]()
Maximize Z = 15x + 10y
The feasible region determined by 2x + y
, 2x + 3y
is given by

The corner points of feasible region are A(0,0) , B(0,80/3) , C(10,20),D(20,0).
The value of Z at corner points are

The maximum value of Z is 350 at point (10,20).
