A rescue team allocates 10 hours of search time between Region AAA (probability of containing the target is P(A)=0.6P(A) = 0.6P(A)=0.6) and Region BBB (P(B)=0.4P(B) = 0.4P(B)=0.4). The detection probability in AAA after tAt_AtA​ hours is 1−e−0.2tA1 - e^{-0.2 t_A}1−e−0.2tA​, and in BBB after tBt_BtB​ hours is 1−e−0.1tB1 - e^{-0.1 t_B}1−e−0.1tB​. Which allocation (tA,tB)(t_A, t_B)(tA​,tB​) maximizes the overall probability of finding the target under constraint tA+tB=10t_A + t_B = 10tA​+tB​=10?
