The corner points of the feasible region determined by , , , , are A(0, 8), B(4, 0) and C(8, 0). If the objective function Z = ax + by has its maximum value on the line segment AB, then the relation between a and b is :
The corner points of the feasible region determined by , , , , are A(0, 8), B(4, 0) and C(8, 0). If the objective function Z = ax + by has its maximum value on the line segment AB, then the relation between a and b is :
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
For Z = ax + by to be maximum on the entire segment AB, Z must be equal at both endpoints A(0, 8) and B(4, 0).
