An objective function \(z=a x+b y\) is maximum at points \((15,15)\) and \((0,20)\). If \(a, b \geq 0\) and \(a b=27\), then the maximum value of the objective function is

  1. A 190
  2. B 180
  3. C 170
  4. D 160
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 180

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(15a + 15b = 20b\) \(15a = 5b \Rightarrow b = 3a\) \(a(3a) = 27 \Rightarrow 3a^2 = 27 \Rightarrow a^2 = 9 \Rightarrow a = 3\) \(b = 3(3) = 9\) \(Z_{max} = 20b = 20(9) = 180\)
