The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear inequalities are \((0,0)\), \((2,4),(7,3)\) and \((5,0)\). If the maximum value of \(z=p x+q y\), where \(p, q>0\) occurs at both \((2,4)\) and \((7,3)\), then :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5 p=q\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(z(2,4) = z(7,3)\) \(p(2) + q(4) = p(7) + q(3)\) \(2p + 4q = 7p + 3q\) \(4q - 3q = 7p - 2p\) \(q = 5p\)
