Let the cottage industry manufacture x pedestal lamps and y wooden shades. Therefore,

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0

The given information can be compiled in a table as follows.

 

Lamps

12

Sprayer (h)

3

20

The profit on a lamp is Rs 5 and on the shades is Rs 3. Therefore, the constraints are

2x + y  12

3x + 2y  20

Total profit, Z = 5x + 3y

The mathematical formulation of the given problem is
