Difference between the maximum and minimum value of the objective function $Z=5x+3y , $ subject to the constraints : $3x+5y≤15;5x+2y ≤10: x, y ≥0$ is : |
$\frac{45}{19}$ $\frac{235}{19}$ $\frac{64}{19}$ 10 |
$\frac{235}{19}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{235}{19}$ finding intersection of $5x+2y=10$ ...(1) $3x+5y=15$ ...(2) 5 × eq. (1) - 2 × eq. (2) $25x + 10y-6x-10y=50-30$ $19x=20⇒x=\frac{20}{19}$ $⇒x=\frac{45}{19}$
Maximum value - minimum value = $\frac{235}{19}$ |
