Detailed Solution

We can set up the following linear programming problem:

Maximize Z = 10A + 8B
Subject to:
4A + 5B ≤ 5000 (Raw material availability)
5A + 3B ≤ 2000 (Labour availability)
A, B ≥ 0

Solving this problem, we get the optimal production mix to be A = 625 units and B = 250 units, with a maximum profit of Z = 10(625) + 8(250) = Rs. 10000. Therefore, the answer is (c) Rs. 10000.
