“yugaras” is the limiting factor here only 20000 could be purchased,
1.the highest ranked product is produced up to maximum demand, calculate how many “yugaras” are used up in producing the maximum demand,
2.Then Produce the next highest ranked product, calculate how many “yugaras” are left.
3.Repeat step 2 until you run out of “yugaras”
4.If there is not enough “yugaras” to satisfy full demand of a product
           You can:
          *Devide the total cost of “yugaras” of that product by 50 get the answer
          *Then Devide the remaining “yugaras”(the left “yugaras”) by the answer obtained from above
          *You will get the amount you can produce from that product.
That is all hope you understand :D
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code. ;)

she divided it ... but she got all of them to fit into the amount of ''yugaras'' needed .. with extra remaining .. the mark scheme however gives a different answer.

she cant have any remaining
Becoz:

Digital cameras MAX DEMAND is 10000 units- each unit needs 1 unit of “yugara”
Closed circuit television cameras MAX DEMAND is 4000 -  each unit needs 2 units of “yugara”
Cine cameras MAX DEMAND is 3000 - each unit needs 4 units of “yugara”
Medical cameras MAX DEMAND is 500 - each unit needs 7 units of “yugara”

Total yougras needed =(10000 x 1) + (4000 x 2) + (3000 x 4) + (500 x7)
                              =33,500
It clearly exceeds the "yougras" we can purchase i.e 20000
obviously her calculation is wrong
