There are two types of fertilisers $F_{1}$ and $F_{2}$. $F_{1}$ consists of $10\%$ nitrogen and $6\%$ phosphoric acid,and $F_{2}$ consists of $5\%$ nitrogen and $10\%$ phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions,a farmer finds that she needs at least $14\,kg$ of nitrogen and $14\,kg$ of phosphoric acid for her crop. If $F_{1}$ costs $Rs\,6/kg$ and $F_{2}$ costs $Rs\,5/kg$,determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requirements are met at a minimum cost. What is the minimum cost?

  • A
    $1000$
  • B
    $1100$
  • C
    $1200$
  • D
    $1300$

For the linear programming problem, $x + 2y \leq 10$, $3x + y \leq 12$, $x, y \geq 0$, the maximum value of $z = 5x + 10y$ occurs at every point on the line segment joining the points..

The maximum value of the objective function $z=4x+6y$ subject to the constraints $3x+2y \leq 12$,$x+y \geq 4$,$x, y \geq 0$ is

The cost function $Z$ is given by $Z = 4x + 6y$. It is to be minimized. The feasible region for this function $Z$ is the shaded region represented in the following figure. Then the minimum value of $Z$ is and occurs at the point:

If the feasible region is as shown in the figure,then the related inequalities are:
