15. A dietician has to develop a special diet using two foods
P and Q. Each packet (containing 30 g) of food P contains 12 units of
Calcium, 4 units of Iron, 6 units of Cholesterol and 6 units of vitamin A.
Each packet of the same quantity of food Q contains 3 units of Calcium,
20 units of Iron, 4 units of Cholesterol and 3 units of vitamin A. The diet
requires atleast 240 units of Calcium, atleast 460 units of Iron and at most
300 units of Cholesterol. Formulate this problem as a linear programming
problem to find how many packets of each food should be used to minimise
the amount of vitamin A in the diet? What is the minimum amount of
vitamin A? (6)
