\\$ Let the company manufacture $ x$ number of souvenirs of Type $\mathrm{A}$ and $y$ number of souvenirs of Type B

\\ \text { According to the question } \\ 5 x+8 y \leq 200 \\ 10 x+8 y \leq 240 \\ x \geq 0, y \geq 0

\text { Maximise the profit } P=100 x+120 y

The common area is coverd by point OABC.

Point A (0,25) , B(8,20), C(24,0)

\\ $Check at corner points $ \\ \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})= $ Rs 3,000$ \\ \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})= $ Rs 3,200(\text { Maximum profit })$ \\ \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})= $ Rs 2,400

\\$ For Maximum profit the number of souvenirs of Type A is 8 and Type \mathrm{B} is 20
