Which one of the following set of constraints does the given shaded region represent?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → $x + y ≤ 30,x+y≥ 15,x ≤ 15, y ≤20,x,y ≥0$
The boundary lines visible in the figure are identified as follows
The descending line passing through $(0,30)$ and $(30,0)$ is
$x+y=30$
The parallel descending line passing through $(0,15)$ and $(15,0)$ is
$x+y=15$
The vertical boundary is at
$x=15$
The horizontal boundary is at
$y=20$
The shaded region lies to the right of the $y$-axis and above the $x$-axis
$x\ge 0,\; y\ge 0$
The region is between the two parallel lines
$x+y\ge 15$ and $x+y\le 30$
It is also bounded by
$x\le 15$ and $y\le 20$
The given shaded region represents the constraints $x+y\le 30,\; x+y\ge 15,\; x\le 15,\; y\le 20,\; x\ge 0,\; y\ge 0$.
