Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The objective function is \(Z = x + y\). The constraints are \(2x + 3y \leq 6\), \(x \geq 0\), and \(y \geq 0\). The feasible region is a triangle with vertices at the origin \((0, 0)\), the x-intercept of the line \(2x + 3y = 6\) which is \((3, 0)\), and the y-intercept of the…
