Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The objective function is z=2x+yz = 2x + y, which needs to be maximized over the shaded feasible region.

In Linear Programming, the maximum value of the objective function always occurs at one of the corner points of the feasible region.


From the graph, the vertices of the shaded feasible region are:

Point A: (0,0)(0, 0)

Point B: (5,0)(5, 0)

Point C: (4,2)(4, 2)

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


Evaluating the objective function z=2x+yz = 2x + y at each corner point:

At point A (0,0)(0, 0):

z=2(0)+0z = 2(0) + 0

z=0z = 0

At point B (5,0)(5, 0):

z=2(5)+0z = 2(5) + 0

z=10z = 10

At point C (4,2)(4, 2):

z=2(4)+2z = 2(4) + 2

z=8+2z = 8 + 2

z=10z = 10

At point D (0,4)(0, 4):

z=2(0)+4z = 2(0) + 4

z=4z = 4


Comparing the values: 0,10,10,40, 10, 10, 4

The maximum value of zz is 1010, which occurs at points B(5,0)(5, 0) and C(4,2)(4, 2).

Therefore, the maximum value of the objective function is 1010.
