OR
A wire of length 20m is to be cut into two pieces. One of the pieces will be bent into shape of
a square and the other into shape of an equilateral triangle. Where should the wire be cut so

Q29.An airplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers. A profit of Rs 1000 is made on each
executive class ticket and a profit of Rs 600 is made on each economy class ticket. The airline
reserves at least 20 seats for executive class. However, at least 4 times as many passengers
prefer to travel by economy class than by the executive class.
Determine how many tickets of each type must be sold in order to maximize the profit for the
airline. What is the maximum profit?
