    There are two different points, profit maximization and revenue maximization. These both are calculated in different way.
    I am confused that why these point are not same? If a product have maximum revenue so it should have maximum profit at that point which is not found here. These both points are totally different.

    For example,
    A= 90
    B = 0.006
    MC= 20

    For profit maximisation:
    MR=MC so (a-2bq)=20 so q will be 5833 units.
    For revenue maximisation
    MR=0 so (a-2bq)=0 so q will be 7500 units.
    Both units are different. I am not getting the concept.

    The two are not the same. It is best seen by looking at the graphs that I draw in my lecture on this. Maximum revenue is at the top of the revenue curve, whereas maximum profit occurs when the extra revenue is equal to the extra cost.
