The production of lenses is noted as (Small, Medium and Large) i.e. (SL, ML, LL).
The production of mirrors is noted as (Small, Medium and Large) i.e. (SM, MM, LM).
Simply put, a small telescope (ST or Small T, profit $20) requires 1 SL and 1 SM, and similarly a medium telescope (MT or Medium T, profit $60) requires 1 ML and 1MM, but a large telescope (LT or Large T, profit $260) requires 1SL, 1 LL and 1 LM.
We wish to solve with a desire to maximize profit.
You should please note that the table of lenses and mirrors does not have any associated profits) :
