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
    $1300$
