Question:

Maximum value of \(z=\{min(3x_{1}-10),min(-5x_{1}+5)\}\) for \(0\leq x_{1}\leq 5\) is

Options:

\(10\)

\(0\)

\(-10\)

None of these

Correct Answer:

\(-10\)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → -10

\(z=\{\text{Min}(3x_{1}-10),\text{Min}(-5x_{1}+5)\}\)

\(0\leq x_{1}\leq 5\)

$\text{Min}(3x_{1}-10)=3×0-10=-10$

$\text{Min}(-5x_{1}+5)=-5×5+5=-20$

$∴\text{Max}Z=\text{Max}\{-10,-20\}$

$⇒-10$
