Sir I have 1 problem in part d of this question Qs says Calculate the new optimum production plan if maximum demand for W falls to 200 units Sir in solution they have said that new optimum point will be at intersection of W = 200 and 2W + 2L = 1200 But in my opinion, new optimum point should be at intersection of W = 200 and 7W + 5L = 3500

On the graph provided in the exam, if W falls to 200 then the line P moves to the left. In that case the feasible area is bounded by lines P and F, and the fabric line is 2W + 2L = 1,200. (The T (tailor) line becomes a redundant constraint). (The examiners original answer was wrong - it did use the Tailor line by mistake - but it was later corrected and the Revision Kits are showing the correct answer).
