● There are two types of fertilisers F, and F2, F, consists of 10% nitrogen and 6%phosphoric acid and F, consists of 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. Aftertesting the soil conditions, a farmer finds that she needs atleast 14 kg of nitrogenand 14 kg of phosphoric acid for her crop. If F, costs Rs 6/kg and F, costsRs 5/kg, determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so thatnutrient requirements are met at a minimum cost. What is the minimum cost?
