Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(36\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation



Objective function \(\mathrm{z}=3 x+5 y\)
The comer points of the feasible region are \(\mathrm{O}(0,0), \mathrm{A}(4,0), \mathrm{B}(4,3), \mathrm{C}(2,6)\) and \(\mathrm{D}(0,6)\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{Z}\) at \(\mathrm{A}(4,0)=12\)
\(\mathrm{Z}\) at \(\mathrm{B}(4,3)=27\)
\(\mathrm{Z}\) at \(\mathrm{C}(2,6)=36\)
\(\mathrm{Z}\) at \(\mathrm{D}(0,6)=30\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Maximum value of \(\mathrm{Z}\) is 36 .
