Hello student,
Please find the answer to your question below
Giventype I which contains 12% nitrogen and 8% phosphoric acid
type II fertilizer which contains 7% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid
18 kg of nitrogen and 12 kg of phosphoric acid is required for a good crop.
The fertilizer type I costs Rs.3.00 per kg and type II costs Rs.1.00 per kg
From the above data we can write equations
(12x/100)+(7y/100)
18
(8x/100)+(10y/100)
12
We shouls maximize Z=3x+y
on solving we get (150,0) and so 150 kg of 1 type fertilizer is to be used
