Consider a L.P.P, Maximize $Z=3x+5y$ subject to constraints $2x+6y ≤ 6,x-y≥0,x≥0, y≥0$. Then which of the following are true? (A) The feasible region of L.P.P is bounded region Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A) and (C) only (B) and (C) only (A) and (D) only (A) and (B) only |
(A) and (C) only |
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) and (C) only Maximize $Z=3x+5y$ subject to $2x+6y\le 6,\; x-y\ge 0,\; x\ge 0,\; y\ge 0$ Simplify the first constraint: $x+3y\le 3$. Find corner points of the feasible region (intersection of boundary lines): Intersection of $x+3y=3$ and $x=y$: $x+3x=3\Rightarrow 4x=3\Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{4},\; y=\frac{3}{4}$ Intersection of $x+3y=3$ with $y=0$: $x=3\Rightarrow (3,0)$ Intersection of $x=y$ with $y=0$ gives $(0,0)$. Thus corner points: $(0,0),\;\left(\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4}\right),\;(3,0)$. Evaluate $Z$ at these points: At $(0,0):\;Z=0$ At $\left(\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4}\right):\;Z=3\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+5\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)=\frac{24}{4}=6$ At $(3,0):\;Z=3\cdot 3+5\cdot 0=9$ Maximum value of $Z$ is $9$ at $(3,0)$. The feasible region is bounded. Point $(1,3)$ is not feasible since $1+3\cdot 3=10>3$. Correct statements: (A) True, (B) False, (C) True, (D) False. |
