Two tailors A and B earn Rs.150 and Rs.200 per day respectively. A can stitch 6 shirts and 4 pants per day while B can stitch 10 shirts and 4 pants per day. Form a linear programming problem to minimise the labour cost to produce at least 60 shirts and 32 pants. 

A company has two plants to manufacture motor cycles. 70% motor cycles are manufactured at the first plant, while 30% are manufactured at the second plant. At the first plant, 80% motor cycles are rated of the standard quality while at the second plant, 90% are rated of standard quality. A motor cycle, randomly picked up, is found to be of standard quality. Find the probability that it has come out from the second plant.

A, B and C are engaged in a printing business. A being the working partner, receives 10% of the net profit as salary. The remaining profit is divided among themselves in the ratio 4 : 5 : 9. If A gets in total Rs. 300000, find the total profit in the business and the shares of B and C in it.

Or

A and B are partners in a business sharing profits and losses equally. They admit a new partner C and it is agreed that now the profits and losses will be shared amongst A, B and C in the ratio 9 : 8 : 7 respectively. If C paid Rs. 2.10 lakh as premium for the goodwill, find the shares of A and B in the premium.
