The point which provides the optimal solution of the linear programming problem |
$(\frac{30}{7},\frac{60}{7})$ $(0,12)$ $(10,0)$ $(3,8)$ |
$(0,12)$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $(0,12)$ ** Feasible corner points: $(0,0),\;(10,0),\;\big(\frac{30}{7},\frac{60}{7}\big),\;(0,12)$. Evaluate $z=21x+35y$ at each point: $z(0,0)=0$ $z(10,0)=21\cdot 10=210$ $z\big(\frac{30}{7},\frac{60}{7}\big)=21\cdot \frac{30}{7}+35\cdot \frac{60}{7}=\frac{630+2100}{7}=\frac{2730}{7}=390$ $z(0,12)=35\cdot 12=420$ Maximum value occurs at $(0,12)$ with $z=420$. Correct point: $(0,12)$. |
