The corner points of the feasible region determined by the following system of linear inequalities :
\(2 x+y \leq 10, \quad x+3 y \leq 15, \quad x, y \geq 0\) are \((0,0),(5,0),(3,4)\) and \((0,5)\).
Let \(z=p x+q y\), where \(p, q>0\).
Condition on \(p\) and \(q\) so that maximum of \(z\) occurs at both \((3,4)\) and \((0,5)\) is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(q=3 p\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(z(3,4) = p(3) + q(4) = 3p + 4q\) \(z(0,5) = p(0) + q(5) = 5q\) \(3p + 4q = 5q\) \(3p = q\)
