The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of Linear Constraints are \((0,3),(1,2)\) and \((3,0)\). Let \(z=p x+q y\), where \(p, q>0\), be the objective function. Find the condition on \(p\) and \(q\) so that the minimum of \(z\) occurs at \((3,0)\) and \((1,2)\) :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(p=q\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(z(3,0) = p(3) + q(0) = 3p\) \(z(1,2) = p(1) + q(2) = p + 2q\) \(z(3,0) = z(1,2)\) \(3p = p + 2q\) \(2p = 2q\) \(p = q\)
