There are two factories located at place $P$ and place $Q$. From these locations,a certain commodity is to be delivered to each of the three depots situated at $A, B$ and $C$. The weekly requirements of the depots are $5, 5$ and $4$ units respectively,while the production capacities of the factories at $P$ and $Q$ are $8$ and $6$ units respectively. The cost of transportation per unit is given below:
From/To$A$$B$$C$
$P$$160$$100$$150$
$Q$$100$$120$$100$

How many units should be transported from each factory to each depot in order that the transportation cost is minimum? What will be the minimum transportation cost?

$A$ dietician has to develop a special diet using two foods $P$ and $Q$. Each packet (containing $30 \, g$) of food $P$ contains $12$ units of calcium,$4$ units of iron,$6$ units of cholesterol,and $6$ units of vitamin $A$. Each packet of the same quantity of food $Q$ contains $3$ units of calcium,$20$ units of iron,$4$ units of cholesterol,and $3$ units of vitamin $A$. The diet requires at least $240$ units of calcium,at least $460$ units of iron,and at most $300$ units of cholesterol. How many packets of each food should be used to maximize the amount of vitamin $A$ in the diet? What is the maximum amount of vitamin $A$ in the diet?
