The corner points of the LPP Minimize \(z=5 x+7 y\) subject to the constraints
\(
\begin{array}{l}
2 x+y \geq 8 \\
x+2 y \geq 10 \\
x, y \geq 0 \\
\text { are } A(10,0), B(2,4), C(0,8)
\end{array}
\)
The minimum value of the objective function is :

  1. A 0
  2. B 38
  3. C 50
  4. D 56
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 38

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At \(A(10,0)\): \(z = 5(10) + 7(0) = 50\) At \(B(2,4)\): \(z = 5(2) + 7(4) = 10 + 28 = 38\) At \(C(0,8)\): \(z = 5(0) + 7(8) = 0 + 56 = 56\) Minimum value of \(z\) is \(38\).
