Two linear programming problems (LPPs) have same bounded feasible region with three corner points (0,3),(4,4),(7,0)(0, 3), (4, 4), (7, 0). If Z1=x−3yZ_1 = x - 3y and Z2=2x+yZ_2 = 2x + y are objective functions of LPPs, then which of the following is/are correct?

A. only Z1Z_1 maximizes at (7,0)(7, 0).

B. both Z1,Z2Z_1, Z_2 minimize at (0,3)(0, 3).

C. both Z1,Z2Z_1, Z_2 maximize at (7,0)(7, 0).

D. Z2Z_2 maximizes at (4,4)(4, 4).

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

At (0,3)(0,3), (4,4)(4,4), (7,0)(7,0) the values of Z1Z_1 are −9-9, −8-8, 77 and of Z2Z_2 are 33, 1212, 1414. Both objectives peak at (7,0)(7,0) and both are least at (0,3)(0,3), so B and C are correct while A and D are not.
