Consider an LPP:

Maximize Z=5x+yZ = 5x + y

Subject to x+3y≤12x + 3y \le 12

3x+y≤123x + y \le 12

and x,y≥0x,y \ge 0

then which of the following statements are TRUE ?

A. The corner points of the bounded feasible region are (0,0), (4,0), (3,3) and (0,4).

B. Maximum value of zz occurs at (3,3).

C. Maximum value of zz occurs at (4,0).

D. The maximum value of zz is 20.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The lines meet at (3,3)(3,3), and the intercepts give corner points (0,0),(4,0),(3,3),(0,4)(0,0),(4,0),(3,3),(0,4), so A is true.

Evaluating Z=5x+yZ = 5x+y: 00, 2020, 1818 and 44 respectively.

The maximum is 2020 at (4,0)(4,0), so C and D are true while B is false.
