If the corner points of the bounded feasible region of an LPP with objective function Maximize z=2x+3yz = 2x + 3y are (0,0), (1,2) and (1,1), then its optimal value is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The objective function is Maximize z=2x+3yz = 2x + 3y.

In linear programming, the maximum value occurs at one of the corner points of the feasible region.

The corner points are (0,0)(0, 0), (1,2)(1, 2), and (1,1)(1, 1).


Evaluating z=2x+3yz = 2x + 3y at each corner point:

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

z=2(0)+3(0)z = 2(0) + 3(0)

z=0z = 0


At point (1,2)(1, 2):

z=2(1)+3(2)z = 2(1) + 3(2)

z=2+6z = 2 + 6

z=8z = 8


At point (1,1)(1, 1):

z=2(1)+3(1)z = 2(1) + 3(1)

z=2+3z = 2 + 3

z=5z = 5


Comparing the values:

  • At (0,0)(0, 0): z=0z = 0
  • At (1,2)(1, 2): z=8z = 8
  • At (1,1)(1, 1): z=5z = 5

The maximum value is 88, occurring at corner point (1,2)(1, 2).

Therefore, the optimal value is 88.
