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 14kg of nitrogen and 14kg 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 ?
