If the corner points of the bounded feasible region for a linear programming problem (LPP) are (0, 2), (3, 0), (6, 0), (6, 8) and (0, 5), then which of the following are correct for the objective function \(Z=4 x+6 y \) ?
(A) The minimum value of the objective function occurs at (0, 2) and (3, 0) only.
(B) The minimum value of the objective function occurs at the mid-point of the line segment joining the points (0, 2) and (3, 0) only.
(C) The minimum value of the objective function occurs at every point of the line segment joining the points (0, 2) and (3,0).
(D) The difference between the maximum value and minimum value of the objective function is 60.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A) and (D) only
  2. B (A) and (C) only
  3. C (B) and (D) only
  4. D (C) and (D) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z(0, 2) = 4(0) + 6(2) = 12\) \(Z(3, 0) = 4(3) + 6(0) = 12\) \(Z(6, 0) = 4(6) + 6(0) = 24\) \(Z(6, 8) = 4(6) + 6(8) = 72\) \(Z(0, 5) = 4(0) + 6(5) = 30\) Minimum value \(Z_{min} = 12\) Maximum value \(Z_{max} = 72\) Difference \(Z_{max} - Z_{min} = 72 - 12 = 60\) Statement (C)…
