Let x be the number of pieces manufactured of type A

and y be the number of pieces manufactured of type B.
Let us summarize the data given in the problem
as follows:
Time for Time for

Type A 9 1 180
Type B 12 3 30

Thus, the mathematical form of above LPP is

Maximize Z=80x+120y
subject to
9x+12y 180
x+3y 30
Also, we have x 0, y 0
Let us now find the feasible region, which is the set of all
points whose coordinates satisfy all constraints.
Consider the following figure.

Thus, the feasible region consists of the points A, B and C.

The values of the objective function at the corner points are
given below in the following table:
Points Value of Z
A 12,6 Z=80 12+120 6 Rs.1680
B 0,10 Z=80 0+120 10 Rs.1200
C 20, 0 Z=80 20+120 0 Rs.1600
Clearly, Z is maximum at x=12 and y=6 and the maximum
profit is Rs.1680.

From above system, we get:

3x+2y+z=1600

x+y+z=900
Thus we get:

This is of the form
