Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

For a bounded feasible region the optimum of a linear objective occurs at a corner point, so evaluate Z=2x−3yZ=2x-3y at each vertex and pick the smallest. With the shaded region of the figure the smallest value obtained is −12-12. Note: The figure accompanying the NTA question is not part of this transcription; the corner-point method has been applied to the region shown in the original paper.
