3. Do the Mathematical formulation of the following problem:
A Manufacturer of leather belts makes three types of belts, A, B, and C which are processed on three Machines M1, M2 and M3. Belt A requires 2 hours on Machine M1and 3 hours on Machine M3. Belt B requires 3 hours on Machine M1, 2 hours on Machine M2 and 2 hours on Machine M3, and Belt C requires 5 hours on Machine M2 and 4 hours on Machine M3. There are 8 hours of time per day available on Machine M1, 10 hours of time per day available on Machine M2 and 15 hours of time per day available on Machine M3. The profit gained from belt A is Rs.3 per unit, from belt B is Rs.5 per unit, from belt C is Rs.4 per unit.
