Advertising campaigns can be conducted through TV, Radio and Magazines. The following table gives the estimated cost in paise or exposure for each group according to the medium employed. In addition, maximum exposure levels possible in each of the medium employed namely T.V, Radio and Magazines are 40,30 and 20 millions respectively. Also the minimum desired exposures within each age group, namely 13-18,19-25,26-36,36 and above are 30,25,15 and 10 millions. The objective is to minimize the cost of attaining the minimum exposure level in each age group.
