Practice objective / multiple choice question 1 from the 2019 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer has 5 ha of land. He will grow maize on \(x\) ha and beans on the remaining \((5-x)\) ha. Maize requires 120 kg N ha\(^{-1}\); beans fix 25 kg N ha\(^{-1}\) and need no fertilizer. Fertilizer is sold in 50‑kg bags at ₦600 each. The market price is ₦2100 per tonne of maize (yield 4 t ha\(^{-1}\)) and ₦1500 per tonne of beans (yield 2.5 t ha\(^{-1}\)). The farmer can spend at most ₦6000 on fertilizer. What value of \(x\) (to one decimal place) will give the maximum net profit? State the profit at that \(x\).
