31. A company manufactures two types of novelty souvenirs made of plywood.
Souvenirs of type A requires 5 minutes each for cutting and 10 minutes each
for assembling. Souvenirs of type B require 8 minutes each for cutting and 8
minutes each for assembling. Given that total time for cutting is 3 hours 20
minutes and for assembling 4 hours. The profit for type A souvenir is ` 100
each and for type B souvenir, profit is ` 120 each. How many souvenirs of
each type should the company manufacture in order to maximize the profit ?
Formulate the problem as an LPP and solve it graphically.
