Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The oxygen constraint specifies that the mixture must have at least 30% oxygen. Using the percentages of oxygen in the two ingredients and their corresponding weights in the mixture, we get the inequality:
0.52 X1 + 0.08 X2 ≥ 0.3
This is the only option that matches the given constraint.
