Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The graph shows a shaded region bounded by several lines. Each boundary line corresponds to a constraint that needs to be identified.


The boundary lines visible in the graph are:

A vertical line at x=400x = 400

A horizontal line at y=700y = 700

A slanting line x+y=800x + y = 800

Another slanting line 2x+y=10002x + y = 1000


For the vertical line at x=400x = 400:

The shaded region is to the left of this line.

This gives the constraint x≤400x \leq 400


For the horizontal line at y=700y = 700:

The shaded region is below this line.

This gives the constraint y≤700y \leq 700


For the line x+y=800x + y = 800:

The shaded region is below this line.

This gives the constraint x+y≤800x + y \leq 800


For the line 2x+y=10002x + y = 1000:

The shaded region is below this line.

This gives the constraint 2x+y≤10002x + y \leq 1000


The shaded region is in the first quadrant, which means:

x≥0x \geq 0

y≥0y \geq 0


The complete set of constraints is:

x+y≤800,2x+y≤1000,x≤400,y≤700,x≥0,y≥0x + y \leq 800, 2x + y \leq 1000, x \leq 400, y \leq 700, x \geq 0, y \geq 0

This matches Option 1.
