    Sir, I can’t understand how to find the optimum point.
    It can be point A too right??
    Question from chapter Limiting Factors Lecture.

    I have also asked the question in comments of that lecture. Kindly ignore.?

    We find the optimum point by moving out the contibution line, keeping it parallel, until the furthest corner away from the origin.

    Alternatively check out the total contribution at point A and you will find that it is lower than at point B, so the mix at point B is the optimum.

    Okay Sir. So in exam I just need to do calculation of the point I find as optimum?
    Or should I try others to just to be sure? (If two points look almost similar to optimum, won’t be able to find out with a ruler, right?)

    Yes – if they do look to be very similar (which would be unusual in the exam ) then you need to check both.
