An LPP defined by the objective function Z = 2x + 2y has to be maximized.
The corner points are (0,0), (5, 0), (8, 2), (4, 6) and (0,8).
The maximum value occurs at :

  1. A At all points on the line segment joining the points (4, 6) and (8,2)
  2. B At (8, 2) only
  3. C At (4, 6) only
  4. D Mid point of line joining (4, 6) and (8,2)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) At all points on the line segment joining the points (4, 6) and (8,2)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z(0,0) = 2(0) + 2(0) = 0\) \(Z(5,0) = 2(5) + 2(0) = 10\) \(Z(8,2) = 2(8) + 2(2) = 16 + 4 = 20\) \(Z(4,6) = 2(4) + 2(6) = 8 + 12 = 20\) \(Z(0,8) = 2(0) + 2(8) = 16\) The maximum value of Z is 20, which occurs at (8, 2) and (4, 6). Therefore, the maximum value occurs at all…
