Figure for CUET Mathematics 2024 16 May Shift 1 question 28 (Algebra) The feasible region represented by the constraints 4x+y≥80,x+5y≥115,3x+2y≤150,x,y≥04 x+y \geq 80, x+5 y \geq 115,3 x+2 y \leq 150, x, y \geq 0 of an LPP is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The constraints for the linear programming problem are:

4x+y≥804x + y \geq 80

x+5y≥115x + 5y \geq 115

3x+2y≤1503x + 2y \leq 150

x,y≥0x, y \geq 0


To identify the region, find the intercepts for each boundary line:

For 4x+y=804x + y = 80:

When x=0,y=80x = 0, y = 80

When y=0,x=20y = 0, x = 20

For x+5y=115x + 5y = 115:

When x=0,y=23x = 0, y = 23

When y=0,x=115y = 0, x = 115

For 3x+2y=1503x + 2y = 150:

When x=0,y=75x = 0, y = 75

When y=0,x=50y = 0, x = 50


Test the origin (0,0)(0,0) against the inequalities to determine the direction of the feasible area:

4(0)+(0)≥80  ⟹  0≥804(0) + (0) \geq 80 \implies 0 \geq 80 (False; region is away from the origin)

0+5(0)≥115  ⟹  0≥1150 + 5(0) \geq 115 \implies 0 \geq 115 (False; region is away from the origin)

3(0)+2(0)≤150  ⟹  0≤1503(0) + 2(0) \leq 150 \implies 0 \leq 150 (True; region is toward the origin)


The intersection of these half-planes, constrained by x,y≥0x, y \geq 0 in the first quadrant, forms the bounded polygonal area labeled as Region C.
