The sum of the x-coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region for the LPP: Minimize z=3x+2yz = 3x + 2y subject to constraints x+y≤14x + y \leq 14, x≥4x \geq 4, x≤8,y≥0x \leq 8, y \geq 0 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

We need to find the corner points of the feasible region and add up their xx-coordinates.


The constraints are:

x+y≤14x + y \leq 14

x≥4x \geq 4

x≤8x \leq 8

y≥0y \geq 0

The corner points occur where these boundary lines intersect.


Where x=4x = 4 meets y=0y = 0:

Point: (4,0)(4, 0)

xx-coordinate =4= 4


Where x=4x = 4 meets x+y=14x + y = 14:

Substituting x=4x = 4:

4+y=144 + y = 14

y=10y = 10

Point: (4,10)(4, 10)

xx-coordinate =4= 4


Where x=8x = 8 meets x+y=14x + y = 14:

Substituting x=8x = 8:

8+y=148 + y = 14

y=6y = 6

Point: (8,6)(8, 6)

xx-coordinate =8= 8


Where x=8x = 8 meets y=0y = 0:

Point: (8,0)(8, 0)

xx-coordinate =8= 8


Sum of xx-coordinates:

4+4+8+8=244 + 4 + 8 + 8 = 24
