Consider \(z=x+3 y\) subject to the constraints \(2 x+3 y \geq 6,2 x+y \leq 8, x \geq 0, y \geq 0\). The minimum value of \(z\) is :

  1. A 6
  2. B 3
  3. C 24
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vertices of feasible region: \((3,0), (4,0), (0,2), (0,8)\) Evaluate \(z=x+3y\) at vertices: \(z(3,0) = 3+3(0) = 3\) \(z(4,0) = 4+3(0) = 4\) \(z(0,2) = 0+3(2) = 6\) \(z(0,8) = 0+3(8) = 24\) Minimum value of \(z\) is \(3\).
