Question 16

A linear programming problem ( LPP ) along with the graph of its constraints is shown below.

The corresponding objective function is: Z=18x+10y, which has to be minimized. The smallest value of the objective function Z is 134 and is obtained at the corner point (3,8),

The optimal solution of the above linear programming problem ____.

(A) does not exist as the feasible region is unbounded.

(B) does not exist as the inequality 18x+10y<134 does not have any point in common with the feasible region.

(C) exists as the inequality 18x+10y>134 has infinitely many points in common with the feasible region.

(D) exists as the inequality 18x+10y<134 does not have any point in common with the feasible region.

Question 16 A linear programming problem ( 𝐋𝐏𝐏 ) along with the graph of its constraints is shown below. The corresponding objective function is: 𝑍=18𝑥+10𝑦, which has to be minimized. The smallest value of the objective function Z is 134 and is obtained at the corner point (3,8), The optimal solution of the above linear programming problem ____. (A) does not exist as the feasible region is unbounded. (B) does not exist as the inequality 18𝑥+10𝑦<134 does not have any point in common with the feasible region. (C) exists as the inequality 18𝑥+10𝑦>134 has infinitely many points in common with the feasible region. (D) exists as the inequality 18𝑥+10𝑦<134 does not have any point in common with the feasible region.Since the feasible region is unbounded, Hence, 134 may or may not be the minimum value of Z So, we need to graph inequality : Z < 134 18x + 10y < 134 The graph of is 18x + 10y < 134 given As, there is no common points between the feasible region and the inequality. ∴ Min Z = 134 at (3, 8) So, the correct answer is (D)
