Detailed Solution

Let A work for x days and B work for y days.
Also, as per the given conditions on the number of shirts and trousers A can stitch per day and B can stitch per day, we can write
6x+10y60   ........(2)4x+4y32      ........(1)
We therefore need to minimize the function 300 x + 400y subject to the conditions as mentioned in equations (1) and (2) above.
Solving both equations, we get
x=5 and y=3
A and B should work for 5 and 3 days to produce 60 shirts and 32 pairs of trousers.
