Consider an LPP: Maximise \(Z=50 x+15 y\) subjected to constraints
\(\begin{array}{l}x+y \leq 60 \\5 x+y \leq 100 \\x, y \geq 0\end{array}\)
If the maximum value of \(Z\) occurs at \(x=a\) and \(y=\beta\), then the value of \(a+\beta\) is :

  1. A 10
  2. B 60
  3. C 50
  4. D 40
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 60

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Intersection of constraints \(x+y=60\) and \(5x+y=100\): \((5x+y)-(x+y) = 100-60 \implies 4x=40 \implies x=10\) \(10+y=60 \implies y=50\) Corner points of the feasible region are \((0,0), (20,0), (10,50), (0,60)\). Evaluate \(Z=50x+15y\) at each point:…
