The feasible region for a linear programming problem is shown in the figure.

Let Z=3x−4yZ = 3x - 4y be the objective function, then minimum of Z occurs at the point

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Z=3x−4yZ=3x-4y falls as yy grows and as xx shrinks, so among the corner points the minimum sits at the vertex with the largest yy and smallest xx, which is D, the point (0,8)(0,8), giving Z=−32Z=-32.

Note: The figure is not part of the transcription; the vertex has been identified from the standard feasible region used with this objective function.
