Consider a LPP:

Maximize Z=22x+18yZ=22x+18y

Subject to:

x+y≤20x+y\le 20,

360x+240y≤5760360x+240y\le 5760,

x,y≥0x,y\ge 0.

Which of the following statements are correct ?

A. The maximum value of ZZ occurs at (0, 20).

B. The maximum value of ZZ occurs at (8, 12).

C. The maximum value of ZZ is 352.

D. The maximum value of ZZ is 392.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The second constraint simplifies to 3x+2y≤483x+2y\le 48. Solving with x+y=20x+y=20 gives the corner (8,12)(8,12).

Corner points are (0,0)(0,0), (16,0)(16,0), (8,12)(8,12) and (0,20)(0,20), where ZZ equals 00, 352352, 392392 and 360360.

The maximum is 392 at (8,12)(8,12), so B and D are correct.
