Refer to the LPP given by Z=2.5x+yZ = 2.5x + y, subject to constraints

3x+y≤12;3y+x≤12;x,y≥03x + y \le 12; 3y + x \le 12; x, y \ge 0:

In the given figure, If ZAZ_A = value of Z at A, ZCZ_C = value of Z at C and Max.(Z) = maximum value of Z, then which of the following relations between ZAZ_A, ZCZ_C and Max.(Z) are correct?

A. 2ZA=52Z_A = 5 Max.(Z)

B. 5ZA=2ZC5Z_A = 2Z_C

C. ZA=6+ZCZ_A = 6 + Z_C

D. 6+ZA=ZC6+Z_A = Z_C

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The corner points are O(0,0)O(0,0), A(0,4)A(0,4), B(3,3)B(3,3) and C(4,0)C(4,0). So ZA=4Z_A=4, ZC=10Z_C=10 and max⁡Z=10.5\max Z=10.5 at BB. Then 5ZA=20=2ZC5Z_A=20=2Z_C and 6+ZA=10=ZC6+Z_A=10=Z_C, so B and D hold while A and C fail.
