3. A manufacture has three machine I , II , III installed in his factory. Machines I and II are capable of
being operated for at most 12 hours where machines III must be operated for at least 5 hours. She
produces only items M and N each requiring the use of all the three machines. The number of hours
required for producing 1 unit of each M and N on the three machines in the following table:
