The region represented by the constraints x≥0,y≥0x \geq 0, y \geq 0 of an LPP is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The constraints are x≥0x \geq 0 and y≥0y \geq 0 for a Linear Programming Problem.

The constraint x≥0x \geq 0 means the xx-coordinate is zero or positive (right side of the yy-axis).

The constraint y≥0y \geq 0 means the yy-coordinate is zero or positive (above the xx-axis).


The four quadrants of the coordinate plane:

Quadrantx valuey valueLocation
First (I)Positive (+)Positive (+)Top-right
Second (II)Negative (−)Positive (+)Top-left
Third (III)Negative (−)Negative (−)Bottom-left
Fourth (IV)Positive (+)Negative (−)Bottom-right

For the given constraints:

x≥0x \geq 0 → xx is positive or zero

y≥0y \geq 0 → yy is positive or zero

Both xx and yy are non-negative, which corresponds to the First Quadrant.

   II   |   I  ← x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

   III  |   IV

Therefore, the region represented by the constraints is the First Quadrant.
