$A$ wholesale merchant wants to start a cereal business with $Rs \ 24000$. Wheat costs $Rs \ 400$ per quintal and rice costs $Rs \ 600$ per quintal. He has a storage capacity of $200$ quintals of cereal. He earns a profit of $Rs \ 25$ per quintal on wheat and $Rs \ 40$ per quintal on rice. If he stores $x$ quintals of rice and $y$ quintals of wheat,then for maximum profit,the objective function is:

  • A
    $25x + 40y$
  • B
    $40x + 25y$
  • C
    $400x + 600y$
  • D
    $\frac{400}{40}x + \frac{600}{25}y$
