A gardener has supply of fertilizer A ...

A gardener has supply of fertilizer A which consists of 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acid and fertilizer B which consists of 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, he finds that he needs at least 14 kg of nitrogen and 14 kg of phosphoric acid for his crop. If fertilizer A costs 10.60 per kg and fertilizer B costs 8.40 per kg, what is the minimum cost at which the farmer can meet the nutrient requirement by using a combination of both types of fertilizers?

There are two types of fertilisers ‘A’ and ‘B’. ‘A’ consists of 12% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid whereas ‘B’ consists of 4% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, farmer finds that he needs at least 12 kg of nitrogen and 12 kg of phosphoric acid for his crops. If ‘A’ costs Rs. 10 per kg and ‘B’ cost Rs. 8 per kg, then graphically determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requirement are met at a minimum cost.

There are two types of fertilizers F_(1) and F_(2).F_(1) consists of 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acid and F_(2) contains 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid.
