Formulation of L.P. Model:

Let x1, x2, x3 and x4 denote the number of units of
type 1,2,3, and 4  respectively.
Objective is to minimize the cost i.e.,
Minimize Z=Rs.(45x1+40x2+85x3+65x4)
      for proteins   3x1+4x2+8x3+6x4≥800,
             for fats          2x1+2x2+7x3+5x4≥200, and 
for carbohydrates    6x1+4x2+7x3+4x4≥700, 
where x1,x2,x3,x4 each≥0
