    Cost of cultivating crop A and crop B = 40A + 60B < = 7400

    Labour/hour = 20A + 25B < = 3300

    Maximum profit = l80A + 200B

    Explanation:

    Cost of cultivating crop A< = $40/acre

    Cost of cultivating crop B < = $60 / acre

    The farmer has a maximum of $7400 for cultivating

    Total cost = 40A + 60B < = 7400

    Each acre of crop A require 20 labour - hour

    Each acre of crop B require 25 ls our - hour

    The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labour - hours

    Total labour hour = 20A + 25 B < = 3300

    If the farmer expects to make profit of $18₩/acre on crops and $200/acre on crop B,

    His maximum profit P = 180A + 200B
