The maximum of \(Z\) is where, \(Z=4 x+2 y\) subject to constraints \(4 x+2 y \geq 46, x+3 y \leq 24\) and \(x, y \geq 0\) is

  1. A 46
  2. B 96
  3. C 52
  4. D None of these

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 96

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The objective function is \(Z = 4x + 2y\). The constraints are: 1) \(4x + 2y \geq 46 \Rightarrow 2x + y \geq 23\) 2) \(x + 3y \leq 24\) 3) \(x, y \geq 0\) We analyze the feasible region defined by these inequalities. The line \(2x + y = 23\) passes through \((11.5, 0)\) and…
