The sum of the \(x\) coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region for the LPP :
Minimize \(z=3 x+2 y\) subject to constraints \(x+y \leq 14, x \geq 4, x \leq 8, y \geq 0\) is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 24

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Corner points are: \((x=4, y=0) \Rightarrow (4,0)\) \((x=8, y=0) \Rightarrow (8,0)\) \((x=8, x+y=14) \Rightarrow (8,6)\) \((x=4, x+y=14) \Rightarrow (4,10)\) Sum of \(x\)-coordinates: \(4+8+8+4 = 24\)

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
