For the given linear programming problem \(z=a x+b y, a, b>0\) subject to the constraint
\(2 x+y \leq 10, x+3 y \leq 15, x, y \geq 0\). If the corner points are \((0,0),(5,0),(3,4)\) and \((0,5)\) and \(z\) is maximum at both \((3,4)\) and \((0,5)\), then the relationship between \(a\) and \(b\) is

  1. A \(b=3 a\)
  2. B \(a=3 b\)
  3. C \(a=2 b\)
  4. D \(a=b\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(b=3 a\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(z_{(3,4)} = a(3) + b(4) = 3a + 4b\) \(z_{(0,5)} = a(0) + b(5) = 5b\) \(3a + 4b = 5b\) \(3a = b\)
