Problem can be represented as
Minimise z = 16x + 20y
st x + 2y 10
2x + 2y 12 or x + y 16
3x + y 8
x 0, y 0
Corner Points |
Z = 16x + 20y |
A(10, 0) |
Z = 160 |
Since the lowest cost in the second column is Rs.112, the minimum cost occurs at B(2,4)
Thus, the desired diet consists of 2 units of food 1 and 4 units of food 2.
