• Q1.a Company manufactures two lines of blankets , called Model A
and model B. Every blanket requires a certain amount of wool and
cotton; the company has available a total of 15,000 kg of wool and
6,000 kg of cotton. Each model A blanket requires a total of 2 kg of
wool and 1 kg of cotton, and each yields a profit of $20. Each model B
blanket can be sold for a profit of $10; it in turn requires 1 kg of wool
and 3 kg of cotton. Find the best production mix of the blankets.(3
