There are two types of fertilisers `F_(1)` and `F_(2),F_(1)` consists of 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric ancid and `F_(2)` consists of 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, a farmer finds that she needs atleast 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?
