  1. A 24
  2. B 46
  3. C 56
  4. D 36
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 36

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The corner points of feasible region are \(\mathrm{A}(4,0)\), \(\mathrm{B}(0,4), \mathrm{C}(0,6)\)

At \(A(4,0), Z=4(4)+6(0)=16\)
At B( 0,4\(), Z=4(0)+6(4)=24\)
At \(\mathrm{C}(0,6), \mathrm{Z}=4(0)+6(6)=36\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{Z}\) has maximum value at \(\mathrm{C}(0,6)\) which is 36 .
