Let number of food type P = x
And number of units of food type Q = y
Therefore , the above L.P.P. is given as :
Minimise , Z = 60x +80y , subject to the constraints : 3 x + 4y ≥ 8, 5x + 2y ≥ 11, x,y ≥ 0.
The corner points can be obtained by drawing the lines 3x+4y=8 and 5x+2y=11 graphically.
The points so obtained are (8/3,0), (2,1/2), (0,11/2)
Corner points | Z = - x + 2y |
D(8/3,0 ) | 160………………….(Min.) |
A(2,1/2) | 160………………(Min.) |
B(0,11/2) | 440 |
Here Z = 160 is minimum. i.e. Minimum cost = Rs 160 at all points lying on segment joining .

Hence the solution set is
Which means
here,

The area bounded by the curves is given by


Equation of a line passing through the intersection of two lies is given by ax1 +by1 +c1 + k(ax2 +by2 +c2) = 0
Hence x+2y-3 + k(2x+y-3) = 0
Since it passes through (0,0)
-3 -3k = 0
This implies k = -1
Sustituting for k we get,
x+2y-3 +(-1)(2x+y-3) = 0
-x +y =0 or x - y = 0
Since
