A tennis racket takes 1.5 hours of machine time and 13 hours of hand work time in its making while a cricket bat takes 3 hours of machine time and 1 hour of hand work time.In a day the factory has the availability of not more than 42 hours of machine time 24 hours of hand work time. Represent the information in the form of linear in equations and solve them graphically

Answer 1

let x=tennis racket

y=cricket bat

subject to constrains:

1.5x + 3y = 42 .......(1)

13x + y =24 .........(2)

x and y greater than 0.

using these equations you can get your answere.
