3. A company makes two kinds of leather belts, belt A and belt B. Belt A
is a high quality belt and belt B is of lower quality. The respective
profits are ₹ 4 and ₹ 3 per belt. The production of each of type A

type B, the company could make 1,000 belts per day. The supply of
leather is sufficient for only 800 belts per day (both A and B
combined). Belt A requires a fancy buckle and only 400 of these are
available per day. There are only 700 buckles a day available for belt
B. What should be the daily production of each type of belt?
Formulate this problem as an LP model and solve it using the
