Solution
Consider equations obtained by converting all inequations representing the constraints.
`2x+y=7 " i.e " x/3.5+y/7=1`
`2x+3y=15 " i.e " x/7.5+y/5=1`
`x=3,x=0,y=0`
Plotting these lines on graph we get the feasible region.

From the graph we can see that ABC is the feasible region.
Take any one point on the feasible region say P (2, 3) .
Draw initial isocost line z passing through the point (2, 3) .
`therefore z_1=4(2)+5(3)=8+15=23`
`therefore " intial isocost line is " 4x+5y=23.`
Since the objective function is of minimization type, from the graph we can see that the line z3 contains only one point A(3, 1) of the feasible region ABC.
Minimum value of z = 4(3)+ 5(1)= 12 + 5 =17
z is minimum when x = 3 and y = 1.

A cooperative society of farmers has 50 hectares of land to grow two crops A and B. The profits from crops A and B per hectare are estimated as Rs 10,500 and Rs 9,000 respectively. To control weeds, a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops A and B at the rate of 20 litres and 10 litres per hectare, respectively. Further not more than 800 litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. Keeping in mind that the protection of fish and other wildlife is more important than earning profit, how much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximize the total profit? Form an LPP from the above and solve it graphically. Do you agree with the message that the protection of wildlife is utmost necessary to preserve the balance in environment?
There are two types of fertilisers 'A' and 'B'. 'A' consists of 12% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid whereas 'B' consists of 4% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, farmer finds that he needs at least 12 kg of nitrogen and 12 kg of phosphoric acid for his crops. If 'A' costs Rs 10 per kg and 'B' cost Rs 8 per kg, then graphically determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requirements are met at a minimum cost
