A graduate student may take any number of courses as a Teaching Assistant. There are five

courses and each associated with a payment. Each course has a number of hours needed and

the student is allowed to spend a maximum of 6 hours on TA duties. Find the best choice for

the grad student to maximize his/her income based on the following five courses specified as

(hours needed, payment received). -- (1,2, (4,5), (5,6) ), (2,3), (3,4)

$(1,2),(5,6)$

$(1,2),(2,3),(3,4)$
