a.
Let the no. of in-state students be students_in
Let the no. of out-state students be students_out
Let the tuition of in-state students be tuition_in
Let the tuition of out-state students be tuition_out
According to the given situation (the linear programming model is):
tuition_in=8000 ....................(1)
tuition_out=24000 ....................(2)
students_in+students_out<=5000 ....................(3)
students_out<=2500 ....................(4)
12%*students_in+24%*students_out<=720 ....................(5)
profit=students_in*tuition_in+students_out*tuition_out ....................(6)
[student_in<=12000 and students_out<=8000 can be ignored since (3) and (4) take care of it]

Graphical Analysis looks like this:
The red points are of interest.
On solving, we get values for them as:
In-State students | Out-State Students | Total Strength | Attrition | Profit |
5000 | 0 | 5000 | 600 | 40000000 |
0 | 2500 | 2500 | 600 | 60000000 |
4000 | 1000 | 5000 | 720 | 56000000 |
1000 | 2500 | 3500 | 720 | 68000000 |
1st and 2nd scenario can be seen from the figure (easy calculation from equation (3)).
3rd scenario comes from solving equation (3) and (5)
4th scenario comes from solving equation (4) and (5)
The scenario with 1000 in-state students and 2500 out-state students gives the optimum result.

Greetings from the real economy. I’m Steve Lohr, a tech reporter for The Times, and I tend to focus on the effects of technology beyond Silicon Valley. No question, the Valley is a wellspring of innovation and home to the ascendant digital corporate giants, both feared and admired. But it’s just a sliver of the $20 trillion American economy. Technology is only a tool in service of greater ends, and those ends presumably extend beyond creating billionaires and enriching investors....

Few years ago, the cost of education was cheaper as compared to now. This has resulted in the sudden decline in admission applications to the universities. Mostly applications of less qualified students are enrolled when there is any shortfall in the university’s normal enrolments figures to secure...
