A farmer has a supply of chemical fertilizer of type. A which 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acid and of type B which contains 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After soil test, it is found that at least 7kg of nitrogen and same quantity fo phosphoric acid is required for a good crop. The fertilizer of type A costs 5.00 per kg and the type B costs 8.00 per kg. Using Linear programming, find how many kilograms of each type of the fertilizer should be bought to meet the requirement and for the cost to be minimum. Find hte feasible region in the graph.

A test for detection of a particular disease is not fool proof. The test will correctly detect the disease 90% of the time, but will incorrectly detect the disease 1% of the time. For a large population of which an estimated 0.2% have the disease, a person is selected at random, given the test, and tod that he has the disease. What are the chances that the person actually have the disease?
