The feasible region of LPP is shown in the graph :
The maximum value of the objective function $Z=6x+4y$ at:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → C
Equation of a line,
$y=mx+c$ [m = slope] [c = constant]
for line connecting (0, 8) and (12, 0)
$y=-\frac{6}{12}x+c$
$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+c$
$⇒2y+x=c$
and,
$2×6+0=c$
$⇒c=12$
$∴2y+x=12$ ...(1)
for line connecting (0, 12) and (6, 0)
$⇒y+2x=12$ ...(2)
Solving (1) and (2),
$2y+4x-(2y+x)=24-12$
$⇒3x=12$
$⇒x=4$ and $y=4$
$Z(4,4)=6×4+4×4$
$=38$ is maximum.
