$A$ 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 $A$?

  • A
    $15$ packets of $P$,$20$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 150$ units
  • B
    $20$ packets of $P$,$15$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 165$ units
  • C
    $10$ packets of $P$,$25$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 135$ units
  • D
    $25$ packets of $P$,$10$ packets of $Q$; Minimum vitamin $A = 180$ units

$A$ wholesale dealer wants to start a business with $Rs. 2,40,000$. The cost price of a quintal of wheat is $Rs. 2000$ and the cost price of a quintal of rice is $Rs. 3000$. He has space capacity for $200$ quintals of grain. The profit from the sale of one quintal of wheat is $Rs. 125$ and that from one quintal of rice is $Rs. 200$. If he has $x$ quintals of rice and $y$ quintals of wheat,then the objective function for the maximum profit is $....$

The minimum value of the objective function $Z = 5x + 8y$,subject to the constraints $x + y \geq 5$,$x \leq 4$,$y \leq 2$,$x \geq 0$,and $y \geq 0$,occurs at the point:

The solution set of the constraints $2x + 3y \leq 6$,$x + 4y \leq 4$,$x \geq 0$,and $y \geq 0$ includes the point $\ldots$ as a corner point.
