Question

The minimum cost of each tablet is Rs. 10 and each capsule is Rs. 10. If the cost of 8 tablets and 5 capsules is not less than Rs. 150, frame the inequations for the given data.

Answer 1

Let the cost of each tablet be x and the cost of each capsule be y.

Minimum cost of each tablet and each capsule is Rs. 10.

Therefore, $x\ge 10$ and $y\ge 10$.

The cost of 8 tablets and 5 capsules should be greater than or equal to 150, i.e., $8x+5y\ge 150$.
