car A Car B
70ft 90ft
230tons 200tons
130$ 210$
now looking on the limiting values length mustnot be greater than 7000ft so at max we can use 10 car of A type and 7 car of B type which absolutely suits the ton handling capacity which is 14000tons..
so 75 cars are devided into 10:7
So,
car A=10/17 X 75=44
car B=7/17 X 75=30
