A rabbit enterprise aims to produce 500 kg of rabbit meat in 8 weeks. Two feeds are available: Feed A contains 18 % protein and costs \(\text{₦}150\) per kg; Feed B contains 12 % protein and costs \(\text{₦}100\) per kg. Rabbits need an average daily protein intake of \(2.5\) g per kg of live‑weight gain. The average daily weight gain per rabbit is 30 g and the feed‑conversion ratio is 3 kg feed per kg gain. No more than 60 % of the total feed can be Feed B. Determine the least‑cost combination of Feed A and Feed B (in whole kilograms) that satisfies the protein requirement, and give the total feed cost (₦).

Answer Options

A. 195 kg of Feed A, 293 kg of Feed B; total cost ₦60 500
B. 200 kg of Feed A, 300 kg of Feed B; total cost ₦60 000
C. 180 kg of Feed A, 320 kg of Feed B; total cost ₦57 000
