The corner points of the feasible region associated with the LPP: Maximise $Z = px + qy, p, q>0$ subject to $2x + y ≤ 10, x + 3y ≤15,x,y≥ 0$ are (0, 0), (5, 0), (3, 4) and (0, 5). If optimum value occurs at both (3, 4) and (0, 5), then |
$p = q$ $p = 2q$ $p = 3q$ $q = 3p$ |
$q = 3p$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $q = 3p$ Given objective function $Z=px+qy,\;\;p,q>0$ Since optimum occurs at both $(3,4)$ and $(0,5)$, $Z(3,4)=Z(0,5)$ $3p+4q=0\cdot p+5q$ $3p+4q=5q$ $3p=q$ Hence the required relation is $q=3p$. |
