Every gram of wheat provides 0.15 g of proteins and 0.24 g of carbo hydrates. The corresponding values of proteins and carbo hydrate of rice are 0.05g and 0.48g respectively. Wheat costs ₹40 per kg and rice costs ₹60 per kg. The minimum daily requirements of proteins and carbohydrates for an average child are 50g and 200 g respectively. Which of the following options describes the LPP to minimize the total cost of wheat and rice that provide minimum daily requirements of proteins and carbohydrates ?
