Every gram of wheat provides $0.1$ gram of proteins and $0.25$ gram of carbohydrates. The corresponding values of rice are $0.05$ gram and $0.5$ gram respectively. The minimum daily requirements of proteins and carbohydrates for an average child are $50$ gram and $200$ gram respectively. Then in what quantities wheat and rice be mixed in daily diet to provide minimum daily requirement of proteins and carbohydrates at minimum cost?

Solution

Let $x =$ grams of wheat and $y =$ grams of rice. Protein constraint: $0.1x + 0.05y = 50$ Carbohydrate constraint: $0.25x + 0.5y = 200$ Simplify: $2x + y = 1000$ $x + 2y = 800$ Solving the two equations gives: $x = 400,\ y = 200.$ Hence, wheat = $400$ g, rice = $200$ g.
