The corner points of the feasible region of the LPP: Minimize Z=−50x+20yZ = -50x + 20y subject to 2x−y≥−52x - y \geq -5, 3x+y≥33x + y \geq 3, 2x−3y≤122x - 3y \leq 12 and x,y≥0x, y \geq 0 are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The corner points (vertices) of the feasible region are found where two constraint lines intersect or where a constraint line meets an axis.


Given constraints:

2x−y≤−52x - y \leq -5 which gives y≥2x+5y \geq 2x + 5

3x+y≥33x + y \geq 3 which gives y≥3−3xy \geq 3 - 3x

2x−3y≤122x - 3y \leq 12 which gives y≥2x−123y \geq \frac{2x - 12}{3}

x≥0,y≥0x \geq 0, y \geq 0


For points on the y-axis, set x=0x = 0:

From y≥2(0)+5y \geq 2(0) + 5:

y≥5y \geq 5

Boundary point: (0,5)(0, 5)

From y≥3−3(0)y \geq 3 - 3(0):

y≥3y \geq 3

Boundary point: (0,3)(0, 3)

From y≥2(0)−123y \geq \frac{2(0) - 12}{3}:

y≥−4y \geq -4

This does not restrict yy further in the first quadrant.


For points on the x-axis, set y=0y = 0:

From 2x−0≤−52x - 0 \leq -5:

x≤−2.5x \leq -2.5

This is not possible since x≥0x \geq 0.

From 3x+0≥33x + 0 \geq 3:

x≥1x \geq 1

Boundary point: (1,0)(1, 0)

From 2x−3(0)≤122x - 3(0) \leq 12:

x≤6x \leq 6

Boundary point: (6,0)(6, 0)


The corner points of the feasible region are:

(0,3)(0, 3)

(0,5)(0, 5)

(1,0)(1, 0)

(6,0)(6, 0)
