Answer
Correct fiqure
Equation of
$\text{AB is}:\text{y} =\frac{1}{2}(3 \text{x} + 7 )$
$\text{BC is:}\text{y} = \frac{1}{2}(11 - \text{x})$
$\text{AC is}:\text{y} =\frac{1}{2}(\text{x} + 5 )$
Required area $ =\frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{-1}^{1}(3 \text{x} + 7 )\text{dx} + \frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{1}^{3}(11 - \text{x})\text{dx} - \frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{-1}^{3}(\text{x} + 5 )\text{dx}$
$ = \bigg[\frac{1}{12}(3 \text{x} + 7 )^{2}\bigg]_{-1}^{1} - \frac{1}{4}\bigg[(11-\text{x})^{2}\bigg]_{1}^{3} - \frac{1}{4}\bigg[(\text{x} + 5)^{2}\bigg]_{-1}^{3}$
= 7 + 9 – 12 = 4 sq. units.

A manufacturer of patent medicines is preparing a production plan on medicines, A and B. There are sufficient raw materials available to make 20000 bottles of A and 40000 bottles of B, but there are only 45000 bottles into which either of the medicines can be put. Further, it takes 3 hours to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of A, it takes 1 hour to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of B and there are 66 hours available for this operation. The profit is Rs. 8 per bottle for A and Rs. 7 per bottle for B. How should the manufacturer schedule his production in order to maximize his profit?
