Self-study helps students to build confidence in learning. It boosts the self-esteem of the learners. Recent surveys suggested that close to 50% learners were self-taught using internet resources and upskilled themselves. A student may spend 1 hour to 6 hours in a day upskilling self. The probability distribution of the number of hours spent by a student is given below:

\[ P(X = x) = \begin{cases} kx^2 & {for } x = 1, 2, 3, \\ 2kx & {for } x = 4, 5, 6, \\ 0 & {otherwise}. \end{cases} \]

Based on the above information, answer the following:

A scholarship is a sum of money provided to a student to help him or her pay for education. Some students are granted scholarships based on their academic achievements, while others are rewarded based on their financial needs.

Every year a school offers scholarships to girl children and meritorious achievers based on certain criteria. In the session 2022–23, the school offered monthly scholarships of ₹3,000 each to some girl students and ₹4,000 each to meritorious achievers in academics as well as sports.

In all, 50 students were given the scholarships, and the monthly expenditure incurred by the school on scholarships was ₹1,80,000.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

The chances of \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \) getting selected as CEO of a company are in the ratio \( 4 : 1 : 2 \), respectively. The probabilities for the company to increase its profits from the previous year under the new CEO \( P \), \( Q \), or \( R \) are \( 0.3 \), \( 0.8 \), and \( 0.5 \), respectively.
If the company increased the profits from the previous year, find the probability that it is due to the appointment of \( R \) as CEO.

Solve the following linear programming problem graphically:
