For a LPP, maximize z=2x+3yz=2x+3y, subjected to constraints:

x≥2,x≤7,y≤x,x+y≤10,x≥0,y≥0x\ge2, x\le7, y\le x, x+y\le10, x\ge0, y\ge0

Which of the following statements are TRUE ?

(A) Vertices of feasible region are (2, 0), (7, 0), (7, 3), (5, 5) and (2, 2).

(B) Maximum z=25z=25 at point (5, 5).

(C) Maximum z=25z=25 at infinite numbers of points.

(D) The feasible region is unbounded.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The corner points are (2,0),(7,0),(7,3),(5,5),(2,2)(2,0),(7,0),(7,3),(5,5),(2,2), so (A) is true and the region is bounded, making (D) false.

The values of zz there are 4,14,23,25,104,14,23,25,10. The maximum 2525 occurs only at (5,5)(5,5), so (B) is true and (C) is false.
