For the objective function \(Z = 4x + 6y\) subject to the constraints
\(3x + 2y ≥ 5, 7x + 2y ≤ 9, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0\),
the maximum value of Z occurs at (a, b)
and the minimum value of Z occurs at (p, q)
then the value of \(\frac{a}{p}+\frac{b}{q}\) is:

  1. A 2.5
  2. B 4.5
  3. C 5.5
  4. D 3.5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4.5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Intersection of \(3x+2y=5\) and \(7x+2y=9\): \(4x = 4 \implies x=1\) \(3(1)+2y=5 \implies y=1\) Point: \((1,1)\) For \(x=0\): \(2y \ge 5 \implies y \ge 2.5\) \(2y \le 9 \implies y \le 4.5\) Points: \((0, 2.5)\), \((0, 4.5)\) For \(y=0\): \(3x \ge 5 \implies x \ge 5/3\)…
