A toy company manufactures two types of dolls,A and B.Market tests and available resources have indicate that the combined production lebel should not exceed 1200 dolls per week and the demand for dolls of type B is at most half of that for dolls of type A.Further the production level of dolls of type A can exceed three times the production of dolls of other type by at most 600units.If the company makes profit of Rs12 and Rs16 per doll respectively on dolls A and B,how many of each should be produced weekly in order to maximize the profit?
