The corner points of the feasible region of a LPP are \(P(0, 5), Q(1, 5), R(4, 2)\) and \(S(12, 0)\).
The minimum value of the objective function \(Z = 2x + 5y\) is at the point:

  1. A P
  2. B Q
  3. C R
  4. D S
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) R

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z(P) = 2(0) + 5(5) = 25\) \(Z(Q) = 2(1) + 5(5) = 2 + 25 = 27\) \(Z(R) = 2(4) + 5(2) = 8 + 10 = 18\) \(Z(S) = 2(12) + 5(0) = 24 + 0 = 24\) Minimum value is 18 at R(4, 2).
