Example 12.6. A company manufactures two types of cloth, using three different colours of wool. One yard length of type A cloth requires 4 oz of red wool, 5 oz of green wool and 3 oz of yellow wool. One yard length of type B cloth requires 5 oz of red wool, 2 oz of green wool and 8 oz of yellow wool. The wool available for manufacture is 1000 oz of red wool, 1000 oz of green wool and 1200 oz of yellow wool. The manufacturer can make a profit of Rs. 5 on one yard of type A cloth and Rs. 3 on one yard of type B cloth. Find the best combination of the quantities of type A and type B cloth which gives him maximum profit by solving the L.P.P. graphically.
