The corner points of the bounded feasible region determined by x+3y≤60,x+y≥10,x≤y,x≥0,y≥0x+3y\le60, x+y\ge10, x\le y, x\ge0, y\ge0 are A(0, 10), B(5, 5), C(15, 15) and D(0, 20). If the objective function z=ax+byz=ax+by has its maximum value on the line segment CD, then the relation between aa and bb is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The maximum occurs along the whole segment CDCD only when zz has equal values at C(15,15)C(15,15) and D(0,20)D(0,20).

So 15a+15b=20b15a+15b=20b, which gives 15a=5b15a=5b, i.e. 3a=b3a=b.
