Develop the LP for the problem.

Answer

Assume

x1 - number of units of food type l

     x2 - number of units of food type 2

     x3 - number of units of food type 3

     x4 - number of units of food type 4

 

Minimize Z = 45x1 + 40x2 + 85x3 + 65x4

Subject to

3x1 + 4x2 + 8x3 + 6x4 ≥ 800

2x1 + 2x2 + 7x3 + 5x4 ≥ 200

6x1 + 4x2 + 7x3 + 4x4 ≥ 700

                        x1≥0, x2 ≥0, x3≥0, x4≥0
