MCQ
For the linear programming problem $\text{(LPP),}$ the objective function is $Z= 4x+3y$ and the feasible region determined by a set of constraints is shown in the graph:

Which of the following statements is true?
  • A
    Maximum value of $Z$ is at $R(40, 0)$
  • Maximum value of $Z$ is at $Q(30, 20)$
  • C
    Value of $Z$ at $R(40, 0)$ is less than the value at $P(0,40)$
  • D
    The value of $Z$ at $Q(30, 20)$ is less than the value at $R(40, 0)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
Maximum value of $Z$ is at $Q(30, 20)$
Corner point Value of the objective function $Z = 4x + 3y$
$1. O(0, 0)$ $z = 0$
$2. R(40, 0)$ $z = 160$
$3. Q(30,20)$ $z = 120 + 60 = 180$
$4. P(0,40)$ $z = 120$
Since, the feasible region is bounded so the maximum value of the objective function $z = 180$ is at $Q(30, 20)$
