A cottage industry manufactures pedestal lamps and wooden shades, each requiring the use of a grinding/ cutting machine and a sprayer. It takes 2 hours on grinding/ cutting machines and 3 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a pedestal lamp. It takes 1 hour on the grinding/ cutting machine and 2 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a shade. On any day, the sprayer is available for at least for at the most 20 hours and the grinding/ cutting machine for at the most 12 hours. The profit from the sale of a lamp is Rs.5 and that from a shade is Rs.3. Assuming that the manufacturer can sell all the lamps and shades that he produces, how should he schedule his daily production in order to maximize his profit?
