The advertisement for magazine 1 costs K2000 per run while the advertisement for magazine 2 costs K.5000 per run. Past experience has indicated that at least 20 runs in magazine 1, and at least 10 runs in magazine 2 are necessary to penetrate the market with any appreciable effect. Also, experience has indicated that there is no reason to make more than 50 runs in either of the two magazines. How many runs in magazine 1 and how many in magazine 2 should be made?
