The objective function of LPP defined over the convex set attains its optimum value at

  1. A At least two of the corner points
  2. B All the corner points
  3. C At least one of the corner points
  4. D None of the corner points
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) At least one of the corner points

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(Z=a x+\) by be the objective function
When Z has optimum value(maximum or minimum), where the variables \(x\) and \(y\) are subject to constraints described by linear inequalities, this optimum value must occur at a corner points of the feasible region.
Thus, the function attains its optimum value at one of the corner points.
