Linear Programming

Question:

From the below-mentioned graph of shaded feasible region of a linear programming problem (LPP) with objective function $z=1.50 x + 1.00 y$, the maximum value of $z$ will be;-

Options:

50

52.5

61.3

72.4

Correct Answer:

52.5

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 52.5

$Z=1.5x+1.0y.$

$\text{Corner points of shaded feasible region from graph:}$

$A(0,40),\;B(15,30),\;C(20,20),\;D(20,0).$

$Z(A)=1.5(0)+1(40)=40.$

$Z(B)=1.5(15)+1(30)=22.5+30=52.5.$

$Z(C)=1.5(20)+1(20)=30+20=50.$

$Z(D)=1.5(20)+1(0)=30.$

$\text{Maximum value occurs at }B(15,30).$

$Z_{\max}=52.5.$
