The feasible region of LPP is shown in the graph : The maximum value of the objective function $Z=6x+4y$ at: |
B C D E |
C |
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. |
