Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 84,000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The constraints are given as: 1) \(x + y \leq 200\) 2) \(x \geq 20\) 3) \(y \geq 4x\) 4) \(y \geq 0\) The feasible region is determined by the intersection of these lines. We find the vertices of the feasible region: Intersection of \(x = 20\) and \(y = 4x\): \(x = 20\),…
