The utility function is
, while the budget constraint would be
. The Lagrangian function to maximize the utility subjected to the constraint would be as
. The FOCs would be as below.

Comparing the first two FOCs, we have
or
or
, and since x and y can not be negative, we have
as the required condition for utility maximizing combination of x and y.
Putting this in the constraint, we have
or
or
, and since
, we have
or
.
Hence, the optimal amount if time spent will be 10 hours of internet surfing and 10 hours of gaming.
