The coordinates of the point at which minimum value of Z = 7 x - 8 y subject to constraints x + y - 20 ≤ 0 , y ≥ 5 , x ≥ 0 , y ≥ 0 is attained, is
Options
- A20 , 0
- B15 , 5
- C0 , 5
- D0 , 20
Correct answer
D. 0 , 20
Step-by-step solution
Feasible region is A B C A and Z = 7 x - 8 y At A 0 , 5 ,   Z = 7 × 0 - 8 × 5 = - 40 At B 15 , 5 ,   Z = 7 15 - 8 5 = 65 At C 0 , 20 ,   Z = 7 0 - 8 20 = - 160 Hence, the minimum value of Z is attained at point 0 , 20 So, option d is correct.
