Solution

Correct Option: 3

The constraints are:

x+y50x + y \leq 50

3x+y903x + y \leq 90

x0, y0x \geq 0,\ y \geq 0

The feasible region is the area where all constraints are satisfied simultaneously. Since x0x \geq 0 and y0y \geq 0, the region is restricted to the first quadrant.


For x+y=50x + y = 50, the line passes through (50, 0)(50,\ 0) and (0, 50)(0,\ 50).

Since x+y50x + y \leq 50, the feasible side is towards the origin.

For 3x+y=903x + y = 90, the line passes through (30, 0)(30,\ 0) and (0, 90)(0,\ 90).

Since 3x+y903x + y \leq 90, the feasible side is towards the origin.


The intersection of the two lines:

x+y=50...(i)x + y = 50 \quad ...(i)

3x+y=90...(ii)3x + y = 90 \quad ...(ii)

(ii)(i)(ii) - (i):

2x=402x = 40

x=20x = 20

y=5020=30y = 50 - 20 = 30

Intersection point =(20, 30)= (20,\ 30)


The feasible region is bounded by the vertices:

(0, 0)(0,\ 0) — Origin

(30, 0)(30,\ 0)3x+y=903x + y = 90 meets the xx-axis

(20, 30)(20,\ 30) — Both lines intersect

(0, 50)(0,\ 50)x+y=50x + y = 50 meets the yy-axis

This is the region closest to the origin in the first quadrant, where both shaded areas overlap, which corresponds to Region A.

Option 3: Region A\boxed{\text{Option 3: Region A}}
