The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are as shown below:
Answer each of the following:
(i) Let 𝑍 = 3𝑥−4𝑦 be the objective function. Find the maximum and minimum value of Z and also the corresponding points at which the maximum and minimum value occurs.
(ii) Let 𝑍=𝑝𝑥 + 𝑞𝑦, where 𝑝,𝑞>𝑜 be the objective function. Find the condition on 𝑝 and 𝑞 so that the maximum value of 𝑍 occurs at B(4,10)𝑎𝑛𝑑 C(6,8). Also mention the number of optimal solutions in this case.
Question 38 (Choice 2) The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are as shown below: Question 38 (Choice 2) – (i) Let 𝑍 = 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 be the objective function. Find the maximum and minimum value of Z and also the corresponding points at which the maximum and minimum value occurs.
Checking value of Z at corner points
Corner Points
Value of Z = 3x − 4y
Thus,
Max Z = 12 at (4, 0)
Min Z = −32 at (0, 8)
Question 38 (Choice 2) – (ii) Let 𝑍 = 𝑝𝑥 + 𝑞𝑦,where 𝑝,𝑞>𝑜 be the objective function. Find the condition on 𝑝 and 𝑞 so that the maximum value of 𝑍 occurs at B(4, 10) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 C(6, 8). Also mention the number of optimal solutions in this case.
Since Maximum Z occurs at B (4, 10) and C (6, 8)
Thus,
4p + 10q = 6p + 8q
10q − 8q = 6p − 4p
2q = 2p
q = p
Also,
Number of Optimal Solutions are infinite
