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
    $1300$

$A$ 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 minimise the amount of vitamin $A$ in the diet? What is the minimum amount of vitamin $A$?
