The objective function z=4x+3yz = 4x + 3y can be maximised subject to the constraints 3x+4y≤243x + 4y \leq 24, 8x+6y≤488x + 6y \leq 48, x≤5x \leq 5, y≤6y \leq 6, x≥0x \geq 0, y≥0y \geq 0 :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Note that z=4x+3y=12(8x+6y)z = 4x + 3y = \frac{1}{2}(8x + 6y). On the constraint line 8x+6y=488x + 6y = 48, z=24z = 24 throughout. Since this line forms a boundary edge of the feasible region, max zz is attained at infinitely many points along that edge.
