A man wishes to mix two types of food X and Y in such a way that the vitamins contents of the mixture contain at least B units of vitamin A and 11 units of vitamin B. Food X costs Rs. 50 per kg and food Y costs Rs. 60 per kg. Fod Xcontains 2 units per kg of vitamin A and 5 kg per unit of vitamin B while food Y contains 5 units per kg of vitamin A and 2 units per kg of vitamin B. Determine the minimum cost of the mixture. |

Answer» Solution :Let there is `X` KG of food `X` and `y` kg of food `Y` in the mixture. `:.` Minimize cost `z=50x+60y` Subject to `XGE0` `yge0` `2x+5yge8` brgt `5x+2yge11` Draw the graph of equations `x=0, y=0, 2x+4y=8` and `5x+2y=11`. Now the feasible region for the inequations `xge0,yge0,2x+5yge8,5x+2yge11`, and shade it. The VERTICES of the shaded region are `A(4,0),B(0,11/2)` and `C(13/7,6/7)`. We will find the value of `z` at these vertices. Therefore the minimum cost is Rs. `144 2/7` and food `X` and `Y` are taken `13/7` kg and `6/7` respectively. |
