  1. A \(150\)
  2. B \(160\)
  3. C \(110\)
  4. D \(180\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(160\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation



Feasible region lies on the origin side of lines \(x+y=20, x=10\) and on non-origin side of \(y=5\).
\(\therefore \quad\) Corner points of the feasible region are \(\mathrm{A}(0,5), \mathrm{B}(10,5), \mathrm{C}(10,10)\) and \(\mathrm{D}(0,20)\)
\(\mathrm{z}\) at \(\mathrm{A}(0,5)=40\)
\(\mathrm{z}\) at \(\mathrm{B}(10,5)=110\)
\(\mathrm{z}\) at \(\mathrm{C}(10,10)=150\)
\(\mathrm{z}\) at \(\mathrm{D}(0,20)=160\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Maximum value of \(\mathrm{z}\) is 160 .
