The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are \((0, 0), (0, 40), (20, 40), (60, 20), (60, 0)\). The objective function is \(Z = 4x + 3y\).
Compare the quantity in Column A and Column B
Column A : Column B :
Maximum of Z 325

  1. A The quantity of column B is greater than quantity of column A
  2. B The quantity of column A is greater than quantity of column B
  3. C Both quantities are equal
  4. D The relationship cannot be determined on the basis of the information supplied
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The quantity of column A is greater than quantity of column B

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z(0, 0) = 4(0) + 3(0) = 0\) \(Z(0, 40) = 4(0) + 3(40) = 120\) \(Z(20, 40) = 4(20) + 3(40) = 80 + 120 = 200\) \(Z(60, 20) = 4(60) + 3(20) = 240 + 60 = 300\) \(Z(60, 0) = 4(60) + 3(0) = 240\) Maximum \(Z = 300\) Column A: 300 Column B: 325 300 < 325
