A diet is to contain atlest 80 units of vitamin A and 100 units of minerals. Two foods `F_(1) and F_(2)` are available. Costs Rs. 6 per unit. One unit of food `F_(1)` contains 3 units of vitamin A and 4 units of minerla one unit of food `F_(2)` contains 6 units of vitamin A and 3 units of minerals. Formulate this as a linear programming problem. Find the minimum cost for diet that consists of mixture of these two foods and also meets the minimal nutritional requirements.
