If a worker wants to pack 200 newly harvested mangoes at average size of 3"x2" in delivery boxes .To optimize the cost and profit in packaging , the mangoes must be properly packed in boxes of similar sizes. To systemize counting , there must also be equal number of mangoes in boxes .He must also consider that mango fruits are fragile and must be packed properly to aoid spoilage and damage to the fruits . What he will do ?

The question as it is has a large number of solutions. In general, optimization problems have an objective function, such as minimum cost, minimum surface area, etc. and subject to constraints, such as maximum number of fruits per box, or maximum sizes, etc.

An example solution without constraints could be
10 boxes of 20 mangoes each, with 4 rows of 5 mangoes in each box.
