25.A farmer mixes two brands P and Q of cattle feed. Brand P costing Rs 250 per bag, contains 3 units of nutritional element A, 2.5 units of element B, and 2 units of element C. Brand Q costing Rs 200 per bag, contains 1.5 units of nutritional element A, 11.25 units of element B and 3 units of element C. The minimum requirements of nutrients A, B and C are 18 units, 45 units and 24 units respectively. Determine the number of bags of each brand which should be mixed in order to produce a mixture having a minimum cost per bag ? What is the minimum cost of the mixture per bag ? What value is depicted here ?
