A wholesale merchant wants to start the business of cereal with \(₹ 24000\). Wheat is \(₹ 400\) per quintal and rice is \(₹ 600\) per quintal. He has capacity to store 200 quintal cereal. He earns the profit \(₹ 25\) per quintal on wheat and ₹ 40 per quintal on rice. If he store \(\mathrm{x}\) quintal rice and y quintal wheat, then for maximum profit the objective function is

• A

  \(25 x+40 y\)
• Correct answer
  B

  \(40 x+25 y\)
• C

  \(400 \mathrm{x}+600 \mathrm{y}\)
• D

  \(\frac{400}{40} \mathrm{x}+\frac{600}{25} \mathrm{y}\)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
