$A$ cooperative society of farmers has $50$ hectares of land to grow two crops $X$ and $Y$. The profit from crops $X$ and $Y$ per hectare are estimated as Rs $10,500$ and Rs $9,000$ respectively. To control weeds,a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops $X$ and $Y$ at rates of $20$ litres and $10$ litres per hectare. Further,no more than $800$ litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. How much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximise the total profit of the society?

  • A
    $30$ hectares for crop $X$ and $20$ hectares for crop $Y$
  • B
    $20$ hectares for crop $X$ and $30$ hectares for crop $Y$
  • C
    $40$ hectares for crop $X$ and $10$ hectares for crop $Y$
  • D
    $10$ hectares for crop $X$ and $40$ hectares for crop $Y$
