The maximum value of \(Z\) for the linear Programming problem maximum \(Z=2 x+y\) subject to the constraints \(x+y \leq 2, \quad x \geq 0, \quad y \geq 0\) is :

  1. A 4
  2. B 2
  3. C 0
  4. D 6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Vertices of feasible region are: \((0,0), (2,0), (0,2)\). At \((0,0)\): \(Z = 2(0) + 0 = 0\) At \((2,0)\): \(Z = 2(2) + 0 = 4\) At \((0,2)\): \(Z = 2(0) + 2 = 2\) Maximum \(Z = 4\)
