Let x = number of bags of rice , y =  number of bags of wheat
The linear progrmming problem will be:
Max Z = 11x + 9y subject to
3x + 2y ? 25
x + y ? 10
x, y ? 0
 
When you will draw the graph, you will get the maximum profit at point (5, 5) - the point of intersection of the two lines.
 
Thus, for earning maximum profit, 5 bags of rice and wheat should be purchased and sold.
 
Maximum profit = 11(5) + 9(5) = 55 + 45 = Rs 100
