Question:

If $z=5x+8y$ is the objective function of a LPP and (0, 0), (3, 1), (2, 4), (0, 3), (5, 0) are corner points of the bounded feasible region, then the maximum value of the objective function is

Options:

24

42

100

23

Correct Answer:

42

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 42

Objective: $z=5x+8y$

Corner points and values:

$(0,0)\!: z=0$

$(3,1)\!: z=15+8=23$

$(2,4)\!: z=10+32=42$

$(0,3)\!: z=24$

$(5,0)\!: z=25$

Maximum value = 42 (at $(2,4)$)
