IKEO is a furniture manufacturer which produces two sizes of wood blocks (type A and B) thatare used to make either a table or a chair. A table is made of a type A and a type B wood blocks,while a chair is made of a type A and two type B wood blocks (See Figure 1) A table makes RM 3 profit, and a chair makes RM 5 profit. If M number of type A and Nnumber of type B wood blocks are produced, how many tables and chairs should themanufacturer make to obtain the greatest profit?For example, let M = 12 and N = 12.By making 4 tables (4 type A and 4 type B) and 4 chairs (4 type A and 8 type B), themanufacturer gain profit as follows,Profit = (RM 3) × 4 + (RM 5) × 4 = RM 32.If the manufacturer makes 2 more tables and 1 less chair, the profit will be increased as follows,Profit = (RM 3) × 6 + (RM 5) × 3 = RM 33.Is this the greatest profit? Write a complete C++ program to help the manufacturer determine the greatest profit obtainfrom making tables and chairs with a given number of M type A and N…
