The corner points of the bounded feasible region for an LPP are (0, 20), (3, 12), (6, 8), and (0, 15).The objective function is $Z= αx + βy$, where $α, β> 0$. If the maximum of Z occurs at the corner points (3, 12) and (6, 8), then the relationship between $α$ and $β$ is: |
$α =\frac{2}{3}β$ $β =\frac{4}{3}α$ $α +β=\frac{1}{2}$ $α =\frac{4}{3}β$ |
$α =\frac{4}{3}β$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $α =\frac{4}{3}β$ Given corner points: (0, 20), (3, 12), (6, 8), (0, 15) Objective function: Z = αx + βy, with α, β > 0 Maximum occurs at (3, 12) and (6, 8). For the objective function to have the same value at these two points: Z(3, 12) = Z(6, 8) α(3) + β(12) = α(6) + β(8) 3α + 12β = 6α + 8β 12β - 8β = 6α - 3α 4β = 3α $\frac{α}{β } = \frac{4}{3}$ |
