    A company sells two different products A and B, making a pro fit of Rs 40 and Rs 30 per unit respectively. Both are produced by common production processes. The producti on process has a total capaci ty of 30000 man-hours. It takes three hours to produce a unit of A an d one hour to produce a unit of B. The company officials feel that th at the maximum number of units of A that can be sold is 8000 units and that of B is 12000 units. Subject to these limitations, products can be sold in any combination. Formulate this problem as LP problem to maximi ze profit
