Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 17

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vertices of feasible region: \( (0,0) \) \( (0,4) \) \( (3,4) \) \( (5,2) \) \( (5,0) \) Evaluate \( Z = 3x + y \): \( Z(0,0) = 3(0) + 0 = 0 \) \( Z(0,4) = 3(0) + 4 = 4 \) \( Z(3,4) = 3(3) + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13 \) \( Z(5,2) = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17 \) \( Z(5,0) = 3(5) + 0 = 15 \)…
