  1. a = 2b
  2. 2a = b
  3. a = b
  4. 3a = b
Answer
  1. a = 2b

Solution:

4a + 0b = 2a + 4b

4a = 2a + 4b

Question 231 Mark
The corner points of the feasible region are A(0, 0), B(16, 0), C(8, 16) and D(0, 24). The minimum value of the objective function z = 300x + 190y is _______.
  1. 5440
  2. 4800
  3. 4560
  4. 0
Answer
  1. 0

Solution:

We know that, for a cartesian polygon, the maximum value occurs at the corner points or vertices of the polygon.

Given z = 300x + 190y

By substituting A(0, 0) in the equation we get z = 0

By substituting B(16, 0) in the equation we get z = 4800

By substituting C(8,16) in the equation we get z = 5440

By substituting D(0, 24) in the equation we get z = 4560

Hence the minimum value of Z occured at C(0, 0) with z = 0

The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are (0, 10),(5, 5),(15, 15),(0, 20). Let z = px + qy where p, q > 0. Condition on p and q so that the maximum of z occurs at both the points (15, 15) and (0, 20) is __________:
  1. q = 2p
  2. p = 2p
  3. p = q
  4. q = 3p
Answer
  1. q = 3p

Solution:

Let z0​ be the maximum value of z in the feasible region.

Since maximum occurs at both (15, 15) and (0, 20)$, the value z0​ is attained at  both (15, 15) and (0, 20).

⟹ z0​ = p(15) + q(15) and z0​ = p(0) + q(20)

⟹ p(15) + q(15) = p(0) + q(20)

⟹ 15p = 5q

Corner points of the bounded feasible region for an LP problem are A(0, 5) B(0, 3) C(1, 0) D(6, 0). Let z = -50x + 20y be the objective function. Minimum value of z occurs at ______ center point.
  1. (0, 5)
  2. (1, 0)
  3. (6, 0)
  4. (0, 3)
Answer
  1. (6, 0)

Solution:

We check the value of the z at each of the corner points.

A (0, 5) -z = -50x + 20y = -50(0) + 20(5) = 100

At B (0, 3) -z = -50x + 20y = -50(0) + 20(3) = 60

At C (1, 0) -z = -50x + 20y = -50(1) + 20(0) = -50

At D (6, 0) -z = -50x + 20y = -50(6) + 20(0) = -300

Hence, we see that z is minimum at D(6, 0) and minimum value is -300.

The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are (0, 10), (5, 5), (25, 20) and (0, 30). Let Z = px + qy, where p, q > 0. Condition on p and q so that the maximum of Z occurs at both the points (25, 20) and (0, 30) is _______.
  1. 5p = 2q
  2. 2p = 5q
  3. p = 2q
  4. q = 3p
Answer
  1. 5p = 2q

Solution:

Maximum of Z occurs at (25, 20) and at (0, 30).

Hence, equating the vales of Z at these points, we get 25p + 20q = 30q

$\therefore$ 5p = 2q

This is the required relation.

Also as p, q > 0, the value of Z is always positive and hence, is greater at (25, 20) and at (0, 30) than at (0,10) and (5, 5).

Question 441 Mark
The point at which the maximum value of x + y, subject to the constraints x + 2y ≤ 70, 2x + y ≤ 95, x, y ≥ 0 isobtained, is:
  1. (30, 25)
  2. (20, 35)
  3. (35, 20)
  4. (40, 15)
Answer
  1. (40, 15)

Solution:

We need to maximize the function

Z = x + y

Converting the given inequations into equations, we obtain x + 2y = 70, 2x + y = 95, x = 0 and y = 0

Region represented by x + 2y ≤ 70:

The line x + 2y = 70 meets the coordinate axes at A(70, 0) and B(0, 35) respectively.

By joining these points we obtain the line x + 2y = 70.

Clearly (0, 0) satisfies the inequation x + 2y ≤ 70.

So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation x + 2y ≤ 70.

Region represented by 2x + y ≤ 95:

The line 2x + y = 95 meets the coordinate axes at $\text{C}\Big(\frac{95}{2},0\Big)$ and D(0, 95) respectively.

By joining these points we obtain the line 2x + y = 95.

Clearly (0, 0) satisfies the inequation 2x + y ≤ 95.

So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x + y ≤  95.

Region represented by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:

Since, every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations.

So, the first quadrant is the region represented by the inequations x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0.

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints x + 2y ≤ 70, 2x + y ≤ 95, x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0, are as follows.

The corner points of the feasible region are O(0, 0), $\text{C}\Big(\frac{95}{2},0\Big)$, E(40, 15) and B(0, 35).

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows.

$\text{Corner point}$

$\text{Z} = \text{x} + \text{y}$

$\text{O}(0, 0)$

$0 + 0 = 0$

$\text{C}\Big(\frac{95}{2},0\Big)$

$\frac{95}{2}+0,2=\frac{95}{2}$

$\text{E}(40, 1)$

$40 + 15 = 55$

$\text{B}(0, 35)$

$0 + 35 = 35$

We see that the maximum value of the objective function Z is 55 which is at (40, 15).

Question 461 Mark
In linear programming, lack of points for a solution set is said to:
  1. Have no feasible solution
  2. Have a feasible solution
  3. Have single point method
  4. Have infinte point method
Answer
  1. Have no feasible solution

Solution:

If there is no point in the feasible set, there is no feasible solution of the linear programming model.

In linear programming, lack of points for a solution set is said to have no feasible solution.

Question 471 Mark
If $\text{a},\text{b},\text{c}\in+\text{R}$ such that $\lambda\text{ abc}$ is the minimum value of a(b2 + c2) + b(c2 + a2) + c(a2 + b2), then $\lambda=$
  1. 1
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. None of the above.
Answer
  1. None of the above.

Solution:

We know that $ \text{A}.\text{M}.\geq\text{G}.\text{M}.$

Therefore, $ \frac{{\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2}​}{2}\geq\sqrt{\text{b}^2\text{c}^2}​$

$\Rightarrow\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2}\geq2\text{bc}$

Multiplying a on both sides doesn’t change the inequality.

Since, given that a is positive.

$\Rightarrow\text{a}(\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}\ ...(1)$

Similarly, $\text{b}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}\ ...(2)$

and $\text{c}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}\ ...(3)$

adding (1), (2) and (3) we get

$\text{a}(\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})+\text{b}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})+\text{c}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2})\geq2\text{abc}+2\text{abc}+2\text{abc}$

$\Rightarrow\text{a}(\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2})+\text{b}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2})+\text{c}(\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2})\geq6\text{abc}$

Therefore $\lambda$ is 6

Question 481 Mark
The point which does not lie in the half - plane 2x + 3y -12 < 0 is:
  1. (2, 1)
  2. (1, 2)
  3. (-2, 3)
  4. (2, 3)
Answer
  1. (2, 3)

Solution:

By putting the value of point (2, 3) in 2x + 3y - 12, we get;

2(2) + 3(3) = -12

= 4 + 9 - 12

= 13 - 12

= 1 which is greater than 0.

Question 491 Mark
z = 10x + 25y subject to $0\leq\text{X}\leq3$ and $0\leq\text{X}\leq3,$ $\text{x}+\text{y}\leq5$ then the maximum value of z is:
  1. 80
  2. 95
  3. 30
  4. 75
Answer
  1. 95

Solution:

The end points of the figure which forms as per the given condition are (0, 0), (3, 0), (0, 3), (3, 2), (2, 3) We check the value of z at these points.

At (0, 3), z = 0 + 75 = 75 At (3, 0), z = 30 + 0 = 30 At (0, 0), z = 0 At (3, 2), z = 30 + 50 = 80 At (2, 3), z = 20 + 75 = 95

Therefore, the maximum value of z turns out to be 95.
