A company manufactures two products, X and Y by using three machines A, B, and C. Machine A has 4 hours of capacity available during the coming week. Similarly, the available capacity of machines B and C during the coming week is 24 hours and 35 hours respectively. One unit of product X requires one hour of Machine A, 3 hours of machine B and 10 hours of machine C. Similarly one unit of product Y requires 1 hour, 8 hour and 7 hours of machine A, B and C respectively. When one unit of X is sold in the market, it yields a profit of Rs. 5/per product and that of Y is Rs. 7/per unit. Solve the problem by using graphical method to find the optimum zone of solution.

A company manufactures two products, X and Y by using three machines A, B, and
C. Machine A has 4 hours of capacity available during the coming week. Similarly,
the available capacity of machines B and C during the coming week is 24 hours and
35 hours respectively. One unit of product X requires one hour of Machine A, 3 hours
of machine B and 10 hours of machine C. Similarly one unit of product Y requires 1
hour, 8 hour and 7 hours of machine A, B and C respectively. When one unit of X is
sold in the market, it yields a profit of Rs. 5/per product and that of Y is Rs. 7/per
unit. Solve the problem by using graphical method to find the optimum zone of
solution.
