Let the mixture contain x kg of food X and y kg of food Y, respectively.
The mathematical formulation of the given problem can be written as given below:
Subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (10, 0), B (2, 4), C (1, 5) and D (0, 8) are the corner points of the feasible region.
The values of z at these corner points are given below:
Corner Point | z = 16x + 20y | |
A (10, 0) | 160 | |
B (2, 4) | 112 | Minimum |
C (1, 5) | 116 | |
D (0, 8) | 160 |
Since the feasible region is unbounded, 112 may or may not be the minimum value of z.
For this purpose, we draw a graph of the inequality, , and check whether the resulting half-plane has points in common with the feasible region or not

Let the farmer mix x bags of brand P and y bags of brand Q, respectively
The given information can be compiled in a table as given below:
Vitamin A (units/kg) | Vitamin B (units/kg) | Vitamin C (units/kg) | Cost (Rs/kg) | |
Food P | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 250 |
Food Q | 1.5 | 11.25 | 3 | 200 |
Requirement (units/kg) | 18 | 45 | 24 |
The given problem can be formulated as given below:
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (18, 0), B (9, 2), C (3, 6) and D (0, 12) are the corner points of the feasible region.
The values of z at these corner points are given below:
Corner Point | z = 250x + 200y | |
A (18, 0) | 4500 | |
B (9, 2) | 2650 | |
C (3, 6) | 1950 | Minimum |
D (0, 12) | 2400 |
Here, the feasible region is unbounded; hence, 1950 may or may not be the minimum value of z.
For this purpose, we draw a graph of the inequality, , and check whether the resulting half-plane has points in common with the feasi

Let the diet contain x and y packets of foods P and Q, respectively. Hence,
x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0
The mathematical formulation of the given problem is given below:
Subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (15, 20), B (40, 15) and C (2, 72) are the corner points of the feasible region
The values of z at these corner points are as given below:
Corner Point | z = 6x + 3y | |
A (15, 20) | 150 | |
B (40, 15) | 285 | Maximum |
C (2, 72) | 228 |
So, the maximum value of z is 285 at (40, 15).
Hence, to maximise the amount of vitamin A in the diet, 40 packets of food P and 15 packets of food Q should be used.
The maximum amount of vitamin A in the diet is 285 units.

The maximum value of Z is unique.
It is given that the maximum value of Z occurs at two points, (3, 4) and (0, 5).
∴ Value of Z at (3, 4) = Value of Z at (0, 5)
Hence, the correct answer is D.
Hence option (D) is correct.

Let the farmer buy x kg of fertilizer F1 and y kg of fertilizer F2. Therefore,
x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0
The given information can be complied in a table as follows.
| Nitrogen (%) | Phosphoric Acid (%) | Cost (Rs/kg) |
F1 (x) | 10 | 6 | 6 |
F2 (y) | 5 | 10 | 5 |
Requirement (kg) | 14 | 14 |
F1 consists of 10% nitrogen and F2 consists of 5% nitrogen. However, the farmer requires at least 14 kg of nitrogen.
F1 consists of 6% phosphoric acid and F2 consists of 10% phosphoric acid. However, the farmer requires at least 14 kg of phosphoric acid.
