The corner points of the bounded feasible region determined by a set of constraints (linear inequalities) are \(A(0,5), B(3,5), C(5,0), D(4,1)\) and the objective function is \(z=p x+2 q y\) where \(p, q>0\).
The condition on \(p\) and \(q\) such that the maximum \(z\) occurs at B and D , is

  1. A \(p-8 q=0\)
  2. B \(q-5 p=0\)
  3. C \(p-5 q=0\)
  4. D \(p-3 q=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(p-8 q=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(z_B = p(3) + 2q(5) = 3p + 10q\) \(z_D = p(4) + 2q(1) = 4p + 2q\) \(3p + 10q = 4p + 2q\) \(10q - 2q = 4p - 3p\) \(8q = p\) \(p - 8q = 0\)
