Formulate a linear programming model for the problem


Problem

A clothier makes coats and slacks. The two resources required are wool cloth and labor. The clothier has 150 square yards of wool and 200 hours of labor available. Each coat requires 3 square yards of wool and 10 hours of labor, whereas each pair of slacks requires 5 square yards of wool and 4 hours of labor. The profit for a coat is $50, and the profit for slacks is $40. The clothier wants to determine the number of coats and pairs of slacks to make so that profit will be maximized. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. Define x1 as the number of coats, x2 as the number of pairs of slacks, and Z as the total profit. Which model formulations is correct?
