A farmer can buy two types of fertilizers. A bag of fertilizer M costs Rs. 50 and contains 6 kg of nitrogen and 3 kg of potassium. A bag of fertilizer N costs Rs. 40 and contains 3 kg of nitrogen and 3 kg of potassium. If the farmer wants to add at least 30 kg of nitrogen and at least 18 kg of potassium to each plot, formulate a mathematical model for minimizing the cost of fertilizing a plot. Also, solve it.
