Question:

The maximum value of a LPP $z = 3x + 4y$ subject to the constraints: $x + y ≤6, x≥0,y≥0$ is:

Options:

24

30

36

28

Correct Answer:

24

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 24

$\text{Maximize } z=3x+4y \text{ subject to } x+y\le 6,\; x\ge 0,\; y\ge 0.$

Corner points: $(0,0),\ (6,0),\ (0,6)$.

$z(0,0)=0,\quad z(6,0)=18,\quad z(0,6)=24.$

Maximum value = 24 at $(0,6)$.
