Answer 1

Answer: Option (C) is correct Bug resistance & Weed control

Let x be the units of S and y be the units of O
So,
Minimize x*1+y*2
s.t.
x+y>=300
2x+y>=400
2x+5y>=750
Hence, x=250 and y=50
Weed control comes out to be 300, nitrogen comes out to be 550, bug resistance comes out to be 750
hence, weed control and bug resistance are binding
