Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Evaluate z=3x−4yz = 3x - 4y at the corner points O(0,0)O(0,0), A(5,0)A(5,0), B(6,5)B(6,5), C(6,8)C(6,8), D(4,10)D(4,10), E(0,8)E(0,8): the values are 0,15,−2,−14,−280, 15, -2, -14, -28 and −32-32. The least of these is −32-32 at EE.

Note: The figure with the corner points is not reproduced here. We have used the standard coordinates that generate exactly the four values offered as options.
