Question:

Consider $Z=x+y $ subject to the constraints $2x+y≤3, 2x-y ≥0, x ≥ 0, y ≥0$ the maximum value of Z is :

Options:

$\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{7}{4}$

$\frac{9}{4}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{9}{4}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{9}{4}$

$2x-y=0$

$2x+y=3$

Adding both eq.

$4x=3⇒x=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{2}$

Corner points  (Z(x,y)= x + y)
(0, 0) Z(0, 0) = 0
(3/2, 0) Z(3/2, 0) = 3/2
(3/4, 3/2) Z(3/4, 3/2) = 9/4

Max. value = $\frac{9}{4}$
