-A breed of cattle needs at least 10 protein and 8 fat units per day. Feed type I provides 6 protein and 2 fat units at $3/bag\$ 3 / \mathrm{bag} . Feed ty pe II provides 2 protein and 5 fat units at $2/bag\$ 2 / \mathrm{bag} . Which mixture fills the needs at minimum cost?


A) Minimize 2x+3y2 x+3 y
Subject to: 6x+2y106 x+2 y \geq 10
2x+5y82 x+5 y \geq 8
x,y0x, y \geq 0 .
B) Minimize 3x+2y3 x+2 y
Subject to: 6x+2y86 x+2 y \leq 8
2x+5y102 x+5 y \leq 10
x,y0\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y} \leq 0 .
C) Minimize 3x+2y3 x+2 y
Subject to: 6x+2y106 x+2 y \geq 10
2x+5y82 x+5 y \geq 8
x,y0x, y \geq 0 .
D) Minimize 3x+2y3 x+2 y
Subject to: 6x+2y86 x+2 y \geq 8
2x+5y102 x+5 y \geq 10
x,y0\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y} \geq 0 .
