19. A company produces three different products. They are processed through three different departments D1, D2, and D3. The table below gives the number of hours that each department spends on each product.

Department Products
P1 P2 P3
D1 1 2 3
D2 2 3 2
D3 3 2 1

 

Total Production hours available each month in each department is as follows:

Department D1 D2 D3
Hours 140 140 100

 

a)       Formulate the appropriate system of linear equations to determine the quantities of the three products that can be produced in each month, so that all the hours available in all departments are fully utilized.

b)      Determine how much time each department spends on each product.
