Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 18

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vertices of feasible region: \( (0,0), (2,2), (0,4) \) At \( (0,0) \): \( z=5(0)+4(0)=0 \) At \( (2,2) \): \( z=5(2)+4(2)=10+8=18 \) At \( (0,4) \): \( z=5(0)+4(4)=0+16=16 \) Maximum \( z=18 \) occurs at \( (a,b)=(2,2) \) \( 4a+5b = 4(2)+5(2)=8+10=18 \)
