Linear Programming

Question:

If the feasible region of an LPP is bounded and the corresponding objective function is $Z=5x-9y$, then the objective function attains:

Options:

only maximum value in the feasible region

only minimum value in the feasible region

both maximum and minimum values in the feasible region

neither maximum nor minimum value in the feasible region

Correct Answer:

both maximum and minimum values in the feasible region

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → both maximum and minimum values in the feasible region

Given: The feasible region of the LPP is bounded, and the objective function is

$Z = 5x - 9y$

For any linear programming problem:

• If the feasible region is bounded, the objective function always attains both a maximum and a minimum value at the corner points of the region.

Therefore, the objective function attains both maximum and minimum values in the feasible region.

Correct option: Both maximum and minimum values in the feasible region.
