The shaded area in the given figure is a solution set for some system of inequalities. The maximum value of the function z=4 x+3 y subject to linear constraints given by the system is
Options
- A38
- B36
- C33
- D34
Correct answer
B. 36
Step-by-step solution
The corner points of the feasible region are O (0,0), A (6,0), B (6,4), C (3,7) and D (0,5) . z=4 x+3 y At O (0,0), z =4(0)+3(0)=0 At A(6,0), z=4(6)+3(0)=24 At B(6,4), z=4(6)+3(4)=36 At C(3,7), z=4(3)+3(7)=33 At D(0,5), z=4(0)+3(5)=15 Maximum value of z is 36 .
