A dietician has to develop a special diet using two foods X and Y . Each packet (containing 30 ~g ) of food. X contains 12 units of calcium, 4 units of iron, 6 units of cholesterol and 6 units of vitamin A. Each packet of the same quantity of food Y contains 3 units of calcium, 20 units of iron, 4 units of cholesterol and 3 units of vitamin A. The diet requires at least 240 units of calcium, atleast 460 units of iron
Options
- A(2,72),(40,15),(15,20)
- B(2,72),(15,20),(0,23)
- C(0,23),(40,15),(2,72)
- D(2,72),(40,15),(115,0)
Correct answer
A. (2,72),(40,15),(15,20)
Step-by-step solution
Let x and y be the number of packets of food X and Y array ll & x 0, y 0 12 x+3 y 240 & 4 x+y 80 & 4 x+20 y 460 & x+5 y 115 & 6 x+4 y 300 & 3 x+2 y 150 & x 0, y 0 & 4 x+y 80 array Intersection points of the lines are shown in the graph we can see that corner point of the feasible region A, B and C are (2,72),(40,15),(15,20) .
