A fruit grower can use two types of fertilizer in his garden, brand P and brand Q. Tests indicate that the garden needs at least 240 kg of phosphoric acid, at least 270 kg of potash and at most 310 kg of chlorine. The amounts (in kg) of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, and chlorine in a bag of each brand are given in the table below. If the grower wants to minimise the amount of nitrogen added to the garden, how many bags of each brand should be used? What is the minimum amount of nitrogen added in the garden? \[\] $\begin{matrix} \text{kg per bag:}& \text{Brand P} &\text{Brand Q} \\ \text {Nitrogen} &3 & 3.5\\ \text {Phosphoric Acid}& 1 & 2\\ \text {Potash}&3 &1.5 \\ \text {Chlorine}& 1.5 & 2 \end{matrix}$

An oil company has two depots A and B with capacities of 7000 L and 4000 L respectively. The company is to supply oil to three petrol pumps, D, E and F whose requirements are 4500L, 3000L and 3500L respectively. Assuming that the transportation cost of 10 litres of oil is Re 1 per km, how should the delivery be scheduled in order that the transportation cost is minimum? What is the minimum cost? The distances (in km) between the depots and the petrol pumps is given in the following table: \[\] $\begin{matrix} & \underline{\text{Distance in Km}} & \\ \underline{\text{From} \setminus\text{To}}& \text{A}&& \text{B}\\ \text{D}& 7 &&3 \\ \text{E}& 6 &&4 \\ \text{F} & 3 && 2 \end{matrix}$
