  3. C 240
  4. D 120
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 192

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The feasible region is defined by the constraints \(x \geq 0\), \(y \geq 0\), \(x + y \leq 12\), and \(2x + y \leq 20\). The corner points of the feasible region are found by solving the intersection of the boundary lines: 1. Intersection of \(x=0\) and \(y=0\) gives \((0, 0)\).…
