4.(d) A company manufacturing air-coolers has two plants locate d at Bengaluru and Mumbai with a weekly capacity of 200 units and 100 units respectively. The company supplies air-coolers to its 4 showrooms situated at Mangalore, Bengaluru, Delhi and Goa which have a demand of 75, 100,100 and 25 units respectively.Due to the differences in local taxes,showroom charges, transportation cost and others, the profits differ. The profits (in Rs.) are shown in the following table:

From To \(\rightarrow\)    
\(\downarrow\) Mangalore Bengalure Delhi Goa
Bengalure 90 90 100 100
Mumbai 50 70 130 85

Plan the production program so as to maximize the profit. The company may have its production capacity at both plants partially or wholly unused.
