Consider the LPP, optimize \(Z=x+5 y\) subject to \(x+y \geq 5 ; 2 x-5 y \geq 10, x \leq 2 ; x \geq 0, y \geq 0\), then which of the following is correct?

  1. A Unique minimum solution
  2. B Unique maximum solution
  3. C Infinitely many optimal solutions
  4. D No solution
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Unique minimum solution

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From \(x \leq 2\) and \(x+y \geq 5\): \(y \geq 5-x \geq 5-2 \implies y \geq 3\). For any point \((x,y)\) in the feasible region, \(x \leq 2\) and \(y \geq 3\). Thus, \(2x-5y \leq 2(2) - 5(3) = 4 - 15 = -11\). The constraint \(2x-5y \geq 10\) cannot be satisfied, as…
