A farmer has a supply of chemical fertilizer of type A which contains 10 % nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acis and type B fertilizer which contains 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil condition of a field, it is found that at least 14 kg of nitrogen and 14 kg of phosphoric acid are required for a good crop. The fertilizer type A costs Rs 5 per kg and type B Rs 3 per kg. How many kilograms of each fertilizer should be used to meet the requirements and the cost be minimum? Using LPP, solve the above problem graphically.

There are two types of fertilisers F_1 and F_2 . F_1 consists of 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acid 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?
