Consider is the number of first class seats and
is the number of coach seats.
The revenue from first class seats and
coach seats is
where

Henc e is the objective function to be maximized.
The constraints are :
\Restriction on first lass seats is .
Restriction on coach seats is .
(a)
\Find the each number of seats to maximize the revenue.
\The ratio of first class to coach seats shoud never exceed .
Hence .
The constraints are ,
