The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear inequalities are (0, 0), (2, 4), (7, 3) and (5, 0). If the maximum value of z = px + qy, where p, q > 0 occurs at both (2, 4) and (7, 3), then: |
p = 5q p = q 5p = q 2p = 3q |
5p = q |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 5p = q Maximum occurs at $(2,4),(7,3)$ $⇒Z(2,4)=Z(7,3)$ $⇒2p+4q=7p+3q⇒q=5p$ |
