Which of the following can be an objective function for a Linear Programming problems in two variables x and y?

  1. A \(\operatorname{Max} z=2 x^2+y\)
  2. B \(\operatorname{Max} z=2 x+3 y\)
  3. C \(\operatorname{Max} z=2 x+\sqrt{y}\)
  4. D \(\operatorname{Max} z=x+2 y+\frac{1}{2} x y\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\operatorname{Max} z=2 x+3 y\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Linear Programming, the objective function must be a linear combination of the variables, meaning variables like x and y can only be to the power of 1. Options A, C, and D are non-linear because they contain \(x^2, \sqrt{y}\), and xy terms, respectively. (B)…
