(Diet problem): A dietician wishes to mix two types of foods in such a way that vitamin contents of the mixture contain atleast 8 units of vitamin A and 10 units of vitamin C. Food 'I' contains 2 units/kg. of vitamin A and 1 unit/kg. of vitamin C. Food 'II' contains 1 unit/kg. of vitamin A and 2 units/kg of vitamin C. It costs Rs. 50 per kg. to purchase Food 'I' and Rs. 70 per kg. to purchase Food 'II'. Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem to minimise the cost of such a mixture.
