20. The month of September is celebrated as the Rashtriya Poshan Maah across the country. Following a healthy
and well-balanced diet is crucial in order to supply the body with the proper nutrients it needs. A balanced
diet also keeps us mentally fit and promotes improved level of energy.

 A dietician wishes to minimize the cost of a diet involving two types of foods, food X (x kg) and food Y(y kg)
which are available at the rate of Rs 16/kg and Rs 20/kg respectively. The feasible region satisfying the
constraints is shown in Figure-2.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Identify and write all the constraints which determine the given feasible region in Figure-2. (2)
(ii) If the objective is to minimize cost Z = 16x + 20y, find the values of x and y at which cost is
minimum. Also, find minimum cost assuming that minimum cost is possible for the given unbounded
region. (2)
