- P = 5y - 2x
Solution:
Let the number of normal calculators produced in a day be x andthe number of scientific calculators produced in a day be y the minimum of total calculators to be produced per day is 200
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}\leq200$
Given, the minimum number of normal calculators to be produced per day is 100
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\geq100$
andthe minimum number of scientific calculators to be produced per day is 80
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\geq80$
Also given, the maximum number of normal calculators can be produced per day is 200
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\leq200$
andthe maximum number of scientific calculators can be produced per day is 170
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\leq170$
A normal calculator incurred a loss of Rs. 2
For x normal calculators, the loss is Rs. 2x
A scientific calculator gained a profit of Rs. 5
For xy scientific calculators, the gain is Rs. 5y
Therefore, profit of the manufacturer P = 5y - 2x.
