उत्तर
Let the diet contain x and y packets of foods P and Q respectively. Therefore,
x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0
The mathematical formulation of the given problem is as follows.
Maximize z = 6x + 3y … (1)
subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is as follows.
The corner points of the feasible region are A (15, 20), B (40, 15), and C (2, 72).
The values of z at these corner points are as follows.
| Corner point | z = 6x + 3y | |
| A(15, 20) | 150 | |
| B(40, 15) | 285 | → Maximum |
| C(2, 72) | 228 |
Thus, the maximum value of z is 285 at (40, 15).
Therefore, to maximize the amount of vitamin A in the diet, 40 packets of food P and 15 packets of food Q should be used. The maximum amount of vitamin A in the diet is 285 units.
