The maximum value of z=3x+4yz = 3x + 4y subject to the constraints

x+y≥2,2x+3y≤6,x≥0,y≥0x + y \geq 2, 2x + 3y \leq 6, x \geq 0, y \geq 0 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The region satisfying x+y≥2x+y\ge2 and 2x+3y≤62x+3y\le6 in the first quadrant is the triangle with corners (2,0)(2,0), (3,0)(3,0) and (0,2)(0,2). Values of z=3x+4yz=3x+4y are 6, 9 and 8, so the maximum is 9.
