Let x units of stereos and y units of tape recorders are produced we have following LPP
          Maximum z = 600x + 400y
          st x + 2y  16
          x + y  9
          4x + y  24
          x  0, y  0
         

Corner Points

z = 600x + 40y

0(0, 0)
A(6, 0)
B(5, 4)
C(2, 7)
D(0, 8)

z = 0
z = 3600
z = 4600
z = 4000
z = 3200

Maximum profit is Rs 4600 when 5 stereo system and 4 tape recorders are produced in a day.
