The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear inequalities are \((0, 0), (0, 4), (4, 0), (2, 4)\) and \((0, 5)\). If the maximum value of \(Z = ax + by\) where \(a, b > 0\) occurs at both \((2, 4)\) and \((4, 0)\), then

  1. A \(a = b\)
  2. B \(a = 2b\)
  3. C \(2a = b\)
  4. D \(a = 3b\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(a = 2b\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a(2) + b(4) = a(4) + b(0)\) \(2a + 4b = 4a\) \(4b = 2a\) \(a = 2b\)
