The objective function $z=x_1+x_2$,subject to $x_1+x_2 \leq 10, -2x_1+3x_2 \leq 15, x_1 \leq 6, x_1, x_2 \geq 0$,has a maximum value at:
A
at only one point
B
at only two points
C
at every point of the segment joining two points
D
at every point of the line joining two points

Solution

(C) The feasible region is determined by the constraints $x_1+x_2 \leq 10$,$-2x_1+3x_2 \leq 15$,$x_1 \leq 6$,and $x_1, x_2 \geq 0$. The corner points of the feasible region are $O(0,0)$,$E(6,0)$,$F(6,4)$,$G(3,7)$,and $D(0,5)$.
We evaluate the objective function $z=x_1+x_2$ at these corner points:
$z(O) = 0+0 = 0$
$z(E) = 6+0 = 6$
$z(F) = 6+4 = 10$
$z(G) = 3+7 = 10$
$z(D) = 0+5 = 5$
The maximum value of $z$ is $10$,which occurs at both corner points $F(6,4)$ and $G(3,7)$.
Since the objective function is maximized at two distinct corner points,it will have the same maximum value at every point on the line segment joining these two points.

Question diagram

$S_1$
B
$S_2$
C
$S_3$
D
$S_4$

Solution

(D) To find the feasible region,we analyze the given constraints:
$1$. $2x + 3y \geqslant 12$: The region is on or above the line $2x + 3y = 12$.
$2$. $-x + y \leqslant 3$: The region is on or below the line $-x + y = 3$.
$3$. $x \leqslant 4$: The region is to the left of the line $x = 4$.
$4$. $y \geqslant 3$: The region is on or above the line $y = 3$.
By observing the graph and testing the constraints:
- The region $S_1$ is above $y=3$,to the left of $x=4$,above $2x+3y=12$,and above $-x+y=3$. This does not satisfy the constraints.
- The region $S_4$ is bounded by $y=3$,$x=4$,$-x+y=3$,and $2x+3y=12$. Checking a point in $S_4$,say $(1, 4)$:
- $2(1) + 3(4) = 14 \geqslant 12$ (True)
- $-(1) + 4 = 3 \leqslant 3$ (True)
- $1 \leqslant 4$ (True)
- $4 \geqslant 3$ (True)
All constraints are satisfied in region $S_4$.

The feasible region for the constraints $x-2 \leqslant y$,$x \geqslant y-1$,$x \geqslant 2$,$y \leqslant 4$,$x, y \geqslant 0$ is represented by:
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(B) The given constraints are:
$1$) $x - 2 \leqslant y \implies y \geqslant x - 2$
$2$) $x \geqslant y - 1 \implies y \leqslant x + 1$
$3$) $x \geqslant 2$
$4$) $y \leqslant 4$
$5$) $x, y \geqslant 0$
Analyzing these inequalities:
- The line $y = x - 2$ passes through $(2, 0)$ and $(4, 2)$. The region $y \geqslant x - 2$ is above this line.
- The line $y = x + 1$ passes through $(0, 1)$ and $(3, 4)$. The region $y \leqslant x + 1$ is below this line.
- The constraint $x \geqslant 2$ restricts the region to the right of the vertical line $x = 2$.
- The constraint $y \leqslant 4$ restricts the region below the horizontal line $y = 4$.
Combining these,the feasible region is bounded by $x = 2$,$y = x - 2$,$y = x + 1$,and $y = 4$. This corresponds to the shaded region in option $B$.

$A$ scholarship amount is given by $z = 550x + 300y$ and is to be distributed among $x$ boys and $y$ girls. From the graph given below,the maximum amount of scholarship is . . . . . . .
Question diagram
A
$7250$
B
$9250$
C
$4250$
D
$5750$

Solution

(A) The feasible region is bounded by the vertices $A, B, C$.
From the graph,the lines are $x = 5$,$y = 4$,$x + y = 15$,and $x - y = 10$.
$1$. Vertex $A$ is the intersection of $x = 5$ and $x - y = 10$. Substituting $x = 5$,we get $5 - y = 10$,so $y = -5$. However,the region is in the first quadrant,so we look at the intersection of $x = 5$ and $x + y = 15$,which is $(5, 10)$.
$2$. Vertex $B$ is the intersection of $x = 5$ and $x + y = 15$,which is $(5, 10)$.
$3$. Vertex $C$ is the intersection of $y = 4$ and $x + y = 15$,which is $(11, 4)$.
$4$. Vertex $D$ is the intersection of $y = 4$ and $x - y = 10$,which is $(14, 4)$.
Wait,looking at the shaded region,the vertices are $A(5, 5)$,$B(5, 10)$,and $C(11, 4)$.
- At $A(5, 5)$: $z = 550(5) + 300(5) = 2750 + 1500 = 4250$.
- At $B(5, 10)$: $z = 550(5) + 300(10) = 2750 + 3000 = 5750$.
- At $C(11, 4)$: $z = 550(11) + 300(4) = 6050 + 1200 = 7250$.
The maximum value is $7250$.

The Linear Programming Problem ($L$.$P$.$P$.) to minimize $z = 30x + 20y$ subject to the constraints $x + y \leqslant 8$,$x + 2y \geqslant 4$,$6x + 4y \geqslant 12$,$x \geqslant 0$,and $y \geqslant 0$ has:
A
a unique solution
B
infinitely many solutions
C
minimum value at $(4, 0)$
D
no feasible solution

Solution

(B) To solve the $L$.$P$.$P$.,we identify the feasible region defined by the constraints:
$1$. $x + y \leqslant 8$
$2$. $x + 2y \geqslant 4$
$3$. $6x + 4y \geqslant 12$ (or $3x + 2y \geqslant 6$)
$4$. $x \geqslant 0, y \geqslant 0$
The corner points of the feasible region are determined by the intersection of these lines:
- Intersection of $x + 2y = 4$ and $3x + 2y = 6$: Subtracting gives $2x = 2$,so $x = 1$. Then $1 + 2y = 4 \implies y = 1.5$. Point: $(1, 1.5)$.
- Intersection of $x + y = 8$ and $x + 2y = 4$: $y = -4$,which is outside the first quadrant.
- Intersection of $x + y = 8$ and $3x + 2y = 6$: $y = -18$,outside the first quadrant.
- Boundary points on axes: $(0, 3)$ from $3x + 2y = 6$,$(0, 2)$ from $x + 2y = 4$,$(8, 0)$ from $x + y = 8$,$(2, 0)$ from $3x + 2y = 6$.
Evaluating $z = 30x + 20y$ at corner points:
- At $(0, 3)$,$z = 30(0) + 20(3) = 60$.
- At $(1, 1.5)$,$z = 30(1) + 20(1.5) = 30 + 30 = 60$.
- At $(8, 0)$,$z = 30(8) + 20(0) = 240$.
- At $(2, 0)$,$z = 30(2) + 20(0) = 60$.
Since the objective function $z$ takes the same minimum value of $60$ at multiple points on the line segment connecting $(0, 3)$ and $(2, 0)$ (specifically,the segment between $(0, 3)$ and $(1, 1.5)$ and $(1, 1.5)$ and $(2, 0)$),the $L$.$P$.$P$. has infinitely many solutions.

The solution set for minimizing the function $z = x + y$ with constraints $x + y \geqslant 2$,$x + 2y \leqslant 8$,$y \leqslant 3$,$x, y \geqslant 0$ contains
A
$x = 0, y = 3$
B
$x = 8, y = 0$
C
infinitely many points
D
$x = 2, y = 3$

Solution

(C) To minimize $z = x + y$ subject to the constraints:
$1$) $x + y \geqslant 2$
$2$) $x + 2y \leqslant 8$
$3$) $y \leqslant 3$
$4$) $x, y \geqslant 0$
First,we identify the feasible region by plotting the lines:
- $x + y = 2$ passes through $(2, 0)$ and $(0, 2)$.
- $x + 2y = 8$ passes through $(8, 0)$ and $(0, 4)$.
- $y = 3$ is a horizontal line.
The vertices of the feasible region are found by the intersection of these lines:
- Intersection of $x + y = 2$ and $x = 0$ is $(0, 2)$.
- Intersection of $x + y = 2$ and $y = 0$ is $(2, 0)$.
- Intersection of $x + 2y = 8$ and $y = 0$ is $(8, 0)$ (but this is outside the region $y \leqslant 3$ and $x+y \geqslant 2$ constraints).
- Intersection of $x + 2y = 8$ and $y = 3$ is $x + 6 = 8 \implies x = 2$,so $(2, 3)$.
- Intersection of $x = 0$ and $y = 3$ is $(0, 3)$.
The corner points of the feasible region are $(0, 2), (2, 0), (2, 3), (0, 3)$.
Evaluating $z = x + y$ at these points:
- At $(0, 2)$,$z = 0 + 2 = 2$.
- At $(2, 0)$,$z = 2 + 0 = 2$.
- At $(2, 3)$,$z = 2 + 3 = 5$.
- At $(0, 3)$,$z = 0 + 3 = 3$.
The minimum value is $2$,which occurs at all points on the line segment connecting $(0, 2)$ and $(2, 0)$. Since a line segment contains infinitely many points,the solution set contains infinitely many points.

MediumMCQ
If the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the objective function $z = 7x - 8y$ subject to the constraints $x + y \leqslant 20$,$y \geqslant 5$,$x, y \geqslant 0$ is $5k + 200$,then the value of $k$ is
A
$3$
B
$4$
C
$5$
D
$6$

Solution

(C) The constraints are $x + y \leqslant 20$,$y \geqslant 5$,and $x \geqslant 0$.
The feasible region is a triangle with vertices determined by the intersection of these lines:
$1$. Intersection of $y = 5$ and $x = 0$: $(0, 5)$.
$2$. Intersection of $x + y = 20$ and $y = 5$: $(15, 5)$.
$3$. Intersection of $x + y = 20$ and $x = 0$: $(0, 20)$.
Now,evaluate $z = 7x - 8y$ at these vertices:
At $(0, 5)$: $z = 7(0) - 8(5) = -40$.
At $(15, 5)$: $z = 7(15) - 8(5) = 105 - 40 = 65$.
At $(0, 20)$: $z = 7(0) - 8(20) = -160$.
The maximum value is $65$ and the minimum value is $-160$.
The difference is $65 - (-160) = 65 + 160 = 225$.
Given the difference is $5k + 200$,we have $5k + 200 = 225$.
$5k = 25$,so $k = 5$.

The correct constraints for the given feasible region are:
Question diagram
A
$y-x \geqslant 1, x+5 y \leqslant 10, x+y \geqslant 2, \quad x, y \geqslant 0$
B
$y-x \leqslant 1, 2 x+5 y \leqslant 10, x+y \geqslant 1, x, y \geqslant 0$
C
$y-x \geqslant 1, 2 x+5 y \leqslant 10, x+y \geqslant 1, x, y \geqslant 0$
D
$x-y \leqslant 1, 2 x+5 y \geqslant 10, x+y \leqslant 1, x, y \geqslant 0$

Solution

(C) To find the constraints,we identify the equations of the lines $L_1, L_2, L_3$ from the graph.
$1$. Line $L_1$ passes through $(-1, 0)$ and $(0, 1)$. The equation is $\frac{x}{-1} + \frac{y}{1} = 1 \Rightarrow y-x = 1$. Since the feasible region is above this line,the constraint is $y-x \geqslant 1$.
$2$. Line $L_2$ passes through $(0, 2)$ and $(5, 0)$. The equation is $\frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{2} = 1 \Rightarrow 2x+5y = 10$. Since the region is below this line,the constraint is $2x+5y \leqslant 10$.
$3$. Line $L_3$ passes through $(0, 1)$ and $(1, 0)$. The equation is $\frac{x}{1} + \frac{y}{1} = 1 \Rightarrow x+y = 1$. Since the region is above this line,the constraint is $x+y \geqslant 1$.
Combining these with non-negativity constraints $x, y \geqslant 0$,we get the system: $y-x \geqslant 1, 2x+5y \leqslant 10, x+y \geqslant 1, x, y \geqslant 0$. This matches option $C$.

Solution

(C) To find the feasible region,we analyze the given constraints:
$1. 2x + y \leqslant 10$: The line passes through $(0, 10)$ and $(5, 0)$. The region is towards the origin.
$2. y \leqslant x$: The line passes through $(0, 0)$ and $(2, 2)$. The region is below the line.
$3. y \leqslant 2$: The region is below the horizontal line $y = 2$.
$4. x, y \geqslant 0$: The region is in the first quadrant.
Intersection points:
- For $y = 2$ and $y = x$,we get $x = 2$. Point is $(2, 2)$.
- For $y = 2$ and $2x + y = 10$,we get $2x + 2 = 10 \Rightarrow 2x = 8 \Rightarrow x = 4$. Point is $(4, 2)$.
- For $y = x$ and $2x + y = 10$,we get $2x + x = 10 \Rightarrow 3x = 10 \Rightarrow x = 10/3$. Point is $(10/3, 10/3)$.
The feasible region is bounded by the vertices $(0, 0)$,$(2, 2)$,$(4, 2)$,and the $x$-axis segment. Looking at the provided options,the graph that correctly represents the region bounded by these lines is shown in option $C$.

The difference between the maximum value and minimum value of the objective function $z = 3x + 5y$ subject to the constraints $x + 3y \leqslant 60$,$x + y \geqslant 10$,$x - y = 0$,and $x, y \geqslant 0$ is:
A
$60$
B
$20$
C
$40$
D
$80$

Solution

(D) The constraints are $x + 3y \leqslant 60$,$x + y \geqslant 10$,$x = y$,and $x, y \geqslant 0$.
Substituting $x = y$ into the constraints:
$1$) $x + 3x \leqslant 60 \implies 4x \leqslant 60 \implies x \leqslant 15$.
$2$) $x + x \geqslant 10 \implies 2x \geqslant 10 \implies x \geqslant 5$.
Since $x = y$,the feasible region is the line segment from $(5, 5)$ to $(15, 15)$.
The objective function is $z = 3x + 5y$.
Substituting $y = x$ into $z$,we get $z = 3x + 5x = 8x$.
At $(5, 5)$,$z = 8(5) = 40$.
At $(15, 15)$,$z = 8(15) = 120$.
The maximum value is $120$ and the minimum value is $40$.
The difference is $120 - 40 = 80$.

In $L.P.P.$,the maximum value of the objective function $Z = 6x + 3y$ subject to the constraints $x + y \leq 5$,$x + 2y \geq 4$,$4x + y \leq 12$,$x, y \geq 0$ is:
A
$\frac{132}{7}$
B
$22$
C
$15$
D
$\frac{122}{7}$

Solution

(B) To find the maximum value of $Z = 6x + 3y$,we first identify the feasible region defined by the constraints:
$1) x + y = 5$
$2) x + 2y = 4$
$3) 4x + y = 12$
$4) x \geq 0, y \geq 0$
Finding the intersection points of the lines:
- Intersection of $x + y = 5$ and $4x + y = 12$: Subtracting gives $3x = 7 \implies x = 7/3$. Then $y = 5 - 7/3 = 8/3$. Point: $(7/3, 8/3)$.
- Intersection of $x + 2y = 4$ and $x + y = 5$: Subtracting gives $y = -1$,which is outside the first quadrant.
- Intersection of $x + 2y = 4$ and $4x + y = 12$: $x = 4 - 2y$. Substituting: $4(4 - 2y) + y = 12 \implies 16 - 8y + y = 12 \implies 7y = 4 \implies y = 4/7$. Then $x = 4 - 8/7 = 20/7$. Point: $(20/7, 4/7)$.
- Boundary points on axes: $(3, 0)$ from $4x+y=12$,$(4, 0)$ from $x+2y=4$,$(0, 2)$ from $x+2y=4$,$(0, 5)$ from $x+y=5$.
Evaluating $Z = 6x + 3y$ at vertices of the feasible region:
- At $(3, 0): Z = 6(3) + 3(0) = 18$
- At $(7/3, 8/3): Z = 6(7/3) + 3(8/3) = 14 + 8 = 22$
- At $(20/7, 4/7): Z = 6(20/7) + 3(4/7) = (120 + 12)/7 = 132/7 \approx 18.85$
- At $(0, 2): Z = 6(0) + 3(2) = 6$
The maximum value is $22$.

$A$ manufacturing company produces two items,$A$ and $B$. Each item must be processed by two machines,$I$ and $II$. Machine $I$ can be operated for a maximum of $10$ hours $40$ minutes ($640$ minutes). It takes $20$ minutes for an item $A$ and $15$ minutes for an item $B$. Machine $II$ can be operated for a maximum of $8$ hours $20$ minutes ($500$ minutes). It takes $5$ minutes for an item $A$ and $8$ minutes for an item $B$. The profit per item of $A$ is ₹ $25$ and per item of $B$ is ₹ $18$. The formulation of an $L.P.P.$ to maximize the profit (where $x$ is the number of items $A$ and $y$ is the number of items $B$) is . . . . . . .
A
Maximize $z=25x+18y$ subject to $20x+15y \leqslant 640, 5x+8y \geqslant 500, x, y \geqslant 0$
B
Maximize $z=25x+18y$ subject to $20x+15y \leqslant 640, 5x+8y \leqslant 500, x, y \geqslant 0$
C
Maximize $z=25x+18y$ subject to $20x+5y \leqslant 8, 5x+8y \leqslant 10, x, y \geqslant 0$
D
Maximize $z=25x+18y$ subject to $4x+3y \leqslant 128, 5x+8y \geqslant 500, x, y \geqslant 0$

Solution

(B) Let $x$ be the number of items $A$ and $y$ be the number of items $B$.
The profit function to be maximized is $z = 25x + 18y$.
Machine $I$ constraint: $20x + 15y \leqslant 640$ (since $10$ hours $40$ minutes $= 640$ minutes).
Machine $II$ constraint: $5x + 8y \leqslant 500$ (since $8$ hours $20$ minutes $= 500$ minutes).
Non-negativity constraints: $x \geqslant 0, y \geqslant 0$.
Thus,the correct formulation is: Maximize $z = 25x + 18y$ subject to $20x + 15y \leqslant 640, 5x + 8y \leqslant 500, x, y \geqslant 0$.

The difference between the maximum and minimum values of the objective function $Z = 3x + 5y$,subject to the constraints $x + 3y \leqslant 60$,$x + y \geqslant 10$,$x - y \leqslant 0$,$x \geqslant 0$,$y \geqslant 0$ is
A
$80$
B
$120$
C
$150$
D

Solution

(A) The feasible region is determined by the constraints $x + 3y \leqslant 60$,$x + y \geqslant 10$,$x - y \leqslant 0$,$x \geqslant 0$,and $y \geqslant 0$.
First,we find the vertices of the feasible region by solving the intersection points of the boundary lines:
$1$. Intersection of $x - y = 0$ and $x + y = 10$: $2x = 10 \implies x = 5, y = 5$. Vertex: $(5, 5)$.
$2$. Intersection of $x - y = 0$ and $x + 3y = 60$: $4y = 60 \implies y = 15, x = 15$. Vertex: $(15, 15)$.
$3$. Intersection of $x + y = 10$ and $x = 0$: $y = 10$. Vertex: $(0, 10)$.
$4$. Intersection of $x + 3y = 60$ and $x = 0$: $3y = 60 \implies y = 20$. Vertex: $(0, 20)$.
Now,we evaluate $Z = 3x + 5y$ at each vertex:
- At $(5, 5)$: $Z = 3(5) + 5(5) = 15 + 25 = 40$.
- At $(15, 15)$: $Z = 3(15) + 5(15) = 45 + 75 = 120$.
- At $(0, 10)$: $Z = 3(0) + 5(10) = 50$.
- At $(0, 20)$: $Z = 3(0) + 5(20) = 100$.
The maximum value is $120$ and the minimum value is $40$.
The difference is $120 - 40 = 80$.

A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(B) To find the feasible region,we analyze the given constraints:
$1$. $x - y \geqslant 0 \implies y \leqslant x$. This represents the region on or below the line $y = x$.
$2$. $x - 5y \leqslant -5 \implies 5y \geqslant x + 5 \implies y \geqslant \frac{1}{5}x + 1$. This represents the region on or above the line $y = \frac{1}{5}x + 1$.
$3$. $x \geqslant 0$ and $y \geqslant 0$ restrict the region to the first quadrant.
Combining these,we look for the region that is below $y = x$,above $y = \frac{1}{5}x + 1$,and in the first quadrant.
Solving for the intersection point: $x = \frac{1}{5}x + 1 \implies \frac{4}{5}x = 1 \implies x = 1.25$. Then $y = 1.25$. The intersection is at $(1.25, 1.25)$.
The region bounded by these lines in the first quadrant is a triangular region. Looking at the provided options,the figure corresponding to the region bounded by these inequalities is represented in option $B$.

The point,at which the maximum value of $10x + 6y$ subject to the constraints $x + y \leq 12$,$2x + y \leq 20$,$x \geq 0$,$y \geq 0$ occurs,is
A
$(10, 0)$
B
$(8, 4)$
C
$(0, 12)$
D
$(12, 0)$

Solution

(B) The feasible region lies on the origin side of the lines $x + y = 12$ and $2x + y = 20$ and is in the first quadrant.
The corner points of the feasible region are $O(0, 0)$,$B(10, 0)$,$C(8, 4)$,and $D(0, 12)$.
We evaluate the objective function $z = 10x + 6y$ at each corner point:
At $O(0, 0)$,$z = 10(0) + 6(0) = 0$.
At $B(10, 0)$,$z = 10(10) + 6(0) = 100$.
At $C(8, 4)$,$z = 10(8) + 6(4) = 80 + 24 = 104$.
At $D(0, 12)$,$z = 10(0) + 6(12) = 72$.
Therefore,the maximum value of $z$ is $104$,which occurs at the point $C(8, 4)$.

$x+2y \leq 50, 2x+y \geq 100, 2x-y \leq 0, x, y \geq 0$

Solution

(A) To determine the system of linear inequalities,we identify the boundary lines of the shaded region:
$1$. The line passing through $(0, 25)$ and $(50, 0)$ has the equation $\frac{x}{50} + \frac{y}{25} = 1$,which simplifies to $x + 2y = 50$. Since the shaded region is above this line,the inequality is $x + 2y \geq 50$.
$2$. The line passing through $(0, 100)$ and $(50, 0)$ has the equation $\frac{x}{50} + \frac{y}{100} = 1$,which simplifies to $2x + y = 100$. Since the shaded region is below this line,the inequality is $2x + y \leq 100$.
$3$. The line passing through $(0, 0)$ and $(10, 20)$ has the equation $y = 2x$,which simplifies to $2x - y = 0$. Since the shaded region is to the left of this line (e.g.,test point $(0, 10)$ gives $2(0) - 10 = -10 \leq 0$),the inequality is $2x - y \leq 0$.
$4$. The region is in the first quadrant,so $x, y \geq 0$.
Thus,the correct set of inequalities is $x + 2y \geq 50, 2x + y \leq 100, 2x - y \leq 0, x, y \geq 0$.

D
$x \geqslant 1, y \leqslant 3, x-2y \leqslant 2, 6x+7y \leqslant 42, x \geqslant 0, y \geqslant 0$

Solution

(D) To determine the linear constraints,we analyze the boundaries of the shaded region:
$1$. The vertical line passing through $x=1$ with the shaded region to the right gives the constraint $x \geqslant 1$.
$2$. The horizontal line passing through $y=3$ with the shaded region below it gives the constraint $y \leqslant 3$.
$3$. The line passing through $(2, 0)$ and $(0, -1)$ has the equation $\frac{x}{2} - \frac{y}{1} = 1$,which simplifies to $x - 2y = 2$. Since the shaded region is above this line (e.g.,testing point $(3, 1)$ gives $3 - 2(1) = 1 \leqslant 2$),the constraint is $x - 2y \leqslant 2$.
$4$. The line passing through $(7, 0)$ and $(0, 6)$ has the equation $\frac{x}{7} + \frac{y}{6} = 1$,which simplifies to $6x + 7y = 42$. Since the shaded region is below this line (e.g.,testing point $(1, 1)$ gives $6(1) + 7(1) = 13 \leqslant 42$),the constraint is $6x + 7y \leqslant 42$.
$5$. The non-negativity constraints are $x \geqslant 0$ and $y \geqslant 0$.
Combining these,the correct set of constraints is $x \geqslant 1, y \leqslant 3, x-2y \leqslant 2, 6x+7y \leqslant 42, x \geqslant 0, y \geqslant 0$.

C

D

Solution

(D) The constraints are $3x+2y \leq 12$,$x+y \geq 4$,and $x, y \geq 0$.
To find the feasible region,we plot the lines $3x+2y=12$ and $x+y=4$.
The intersection points of the lines with the axes are:
For $3x+2y=12$: $(4,0)$ and $(0,6)$.
For $x+y=4$: $(4,0)$ and $(0,4)$.
The feasible region is the triangle with vertices $A(4,0)$,$B(0,4)$,and $C(0,6)$.
We evaluate the objective function $z=4x+6y$ at these corner points:
At $A(4,0)$: $z = 4(4) + 6(0) = 16$.
At $B(0,4)$: $z = 4(0) + 6(4) = 24$.
At $C(0,6)$: $z = 4(0) + 6(6) = 36$.
Comparing these values,the maximum value of $z$ is $36$,which occurs at point $C(0,6)$.

A
occurs only at a unique point.
B
occurs only at two distinct points.
C
occurs at infinitely many points.
D

Solution

(C) The feasible region is bounded by the lines $x+y=10$,$5x+3y=15$,$x=6$,and the axes $x=0, y=0$.
The corner points of the feasible region are $A(0,5)$,$B(0,10)$,$C(6,4)$,and $E(3,0)$.
We evaluate the objective function $z=x+y$ at these corner points:
At $A(0,5)$,$z = 0+5 = 5$.
At $B(0,10)$,$z = 0+10 = 10$.
At $C(6,4)$,$z = 6+4 = 10$.
At $E(3,0)$,$z = 3+0 = 3$.
The maximum value of $z$ is $10$,which occurs at both points $B(0,10)$ and $C(6,4)$.
Since the maximum value occurs at two corner points,it occurs at all points on the line segment joining $B$ and $C$.
Therefore,the maximum value occurs at infinitely many points.

Solution

(B) The feasible region is bounded by the lines $3x+4y=12$,$x+y=5$,and the axes in the first quadrant.
To find the corner points,we identify the vertices of the shaded region:
$1$. Intersection of $3x+4y=12$ and the $x$-axis $(y=0)$: $3x=12 \implies x=4$. Point is $A(4, 0)$.
$2$. Intersection of $x+y=5$ and the $x$-axis $(y=0)$: $x=5$. Point is $B(5, 0)$.
$3$. Intersection of $x+y=5$ and the $y$-axis $(x=0)$: $y=5$. Point is $C(0, 5)$.
$4$. Intersection of $3x+4y=12$ and the $y$-axis $(x=0)$: $4y=12 \implies y=3$. Point is $D(0, 3)$.
Now,we evaluate $z=4x+2y$ at each corner point:
- At $A(4, 0): z = 4(4) + 2(0) = 16$
- At $B(5, 0): z = 4(5) + 2(0) = 20$
- At $C(0, 5): z = 4(0) + 2(5) = 10$
- At $D(0, 3): z = 4(0) + 2(3) = 6$
The maximum value of $z$ is $20$ at point $B(5, 0)$.

D
$3x+8y \geq 24, 4x+5y \leq 20, 5x+3y \leq 15, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

Solution

(D) To find the linear constraints,we identify the equations of the three lines forming the boundary of the shaded region:
$1$. Line passing through $(0, 3)$ and $(8, 0)$: The intercept form is $\frac{x}{8} + \frac{y}{3} = 1$,which simplifies to $3x + 8y = 24$. Since the shaded region is above this line (away from the origin),the constraint is $3x + 8y \geq 24$.
$2$. Line passing through $(0, 4)$ and $(5, 0)$: The intercept form is $\frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{4} = 1$,which simplifies to $4x + 5y = 20$. Since the shaded region is below this line (towards the origin),the constraint is $4x + 5y \leq 20$.
$3$. Line passing through $(0, 5)$ and $(3, 0)$: The intercept form is $\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{5} = 1$,which simplifies to $5x + 3y = 15$. Since the shaded region is below this line (towards the origin),the constraint is $5x + 3y \leq 15$.
Combining these with the non-negativity constraints $x \geq 0, y \geq 0$,we get the system: $3x + 8y \geq 24, 4x + 5y \leq 20, 5x + 3y \leq 15, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$. Thus,option $D$ is correct.

$1$. For $x+y \geq 1$: The line passes through $(1, 0)$ and $(0, 1)$. The region is away from the origin.
$2$. For $7x+9y \leq 63$: The line passes through $(9, 0)$ and $(0, 7)$. The region is towards the origin.
$3$. For $x \leq 6$ and $y \leq 5$: These represent the region bounded by the lines $x=6$ and $y=5$ in the first quadrant.
$4$. The intersection of all these regions gives the feasible region. By plotting these lines,we observe that the region is bounded by the vertices $(0, 1), (0, 7), (2.57, 5), (6, 5), (6, 2.33)$ and $(1, 0)$.
Comparing this with the provided figures,the correct graphical representation is Fig. $2$.

D
$x-y \leq 0, -x+3y = 3, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

Solution

(C) Let's analyze the shaded region and its linear constraints:
$1$. Looking at the graph,the region is bounded by the lines $y=x$ and $-x+3y=3$,along with the axes $x=0$ and $y=0$.
$2$. The shaded region is situated below the line $-x+3y=3$. Testing the origin $(0,0)$,we get $-0+3(0) = 0 \leq 3$,which satisfies the inequality. Thus,the constraint is $-x+3y \leq 3$.
$3$. The region is situated to the right of the line $y=x$ (or below the line $y=x$ in terms of $y$-values for a fixed $x$). Testing a point in the region,such as $(2, 0)$,we have $x-y = 2-0 = 2 \geq 0$. Wait,let's re-evaluate: for the region to the right of $y=x$,we have $x \geq y$,which means $x-y \geq 0$.
$4$. Re-checking the graph: The shaded region is bounded by $y=x$ on the left and $-x+3y=3$ on the top. For points in the region,$x \geq y$ (so $x-y \geq 0$) and $-x+3y \leq 3$.
$5$. Comparing with the options,option $(C)$ matches these conditions: $x-y \geq 0, -x+3y \leq 3, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

$A$ production unit makes a special type of metal chip by combining copper and brass. The standard weight of the chip must be at least $5 \text{ gms}$. The basic ingredients,i.e.,copper and brass,cost $₹8$ and $₹5$ per $\text{gm}$ respectively. Durability considerations dictate that the metal chip must not contain more than $4 \text{ gms}$ of brass and should contain a minimum of $2 \text{ gms}$ of copper. Then,the minimum cost of the metal chip satisfying the above conditions is:
A
₹ $36$
B
₹ $31$
C
₹ $30$
D
₹ $40$

Solution

(B) Let $x$ and $y$ denote the quantity of copper and brass in grams,respectively.
The objective function to minimize is the cost: $z = 8x + 5y$.
The constraints based on the problem are:
$1) \ x + y \geq 5$ (Total weight at least $5 \text{ gms}$)
$2) \ x \geq 2$ (Minimum $2 \text{ gms}$ of copper)
$3) \ y \leq 4$ (Maximum $4 \text{ gms}$ of brass)
$4) \ x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ (Non-negativity constraints)
The feasible region is determined by these inequalities. The corner points of the feasible region are found by the intersection of the boundary lines:
- Point $A$: Intersection of $x = 2$ and $y = 4$,so $A = (2, 4)$.
- Point $B$: Intersection of $x = 2$ and $x + y = 5$,so $B = (2, 3)$.
- Point $C$: Intersection of $x + y = 5$ and $y = 0$,so $C = (5, 0)$.
Now,evaluate the objective function $z = 8x + 5y$ at these corner points:
- At $A(2, 4): z = 8(2) + 5(4) = 16 + 20 = 36$.
- At $B(2, 3): z = 8(2) + 5(3) = 16 + 15 = 31$.
- At $C(5, 0): z = 8(5) + 5(0) = 40 + 0 = 40$.
The minimum value of $z$ is $31$.
Therefore,the minimum cost is $₹ 31$.

Solution

(A) The constraints are $2x \geq 4$ (or $x \geq 2$),$y \leq 3$,$x+y \leq 8$,and $x, y \geq 0$.
The feasible region is bounded by the lines $x=2, y=3, x+y=8$ and the $x$-axis $(y=0)$.
The corner points of the feasible region are determined by the intersection of these lines:
$A(2, 0)$ (intersection of $x=2$ and $y=0$)
$B(8, 0)$ (intersection of $x+y=8$ and $y=0$)
$C(5, 3)$ (intersection of $x+y=8$ and $y=3$)
$D(2, 3)$ (intersection of $x=2$ and $y=3$)
Now,we evaluate $Z=100x+70y$ at each corner point:
At $A(2, 0): Z = 100(2) + 70(0) = 200$
At $B(8, 0): Z = 100(8) + 70(0) = 800$
At $C(5, 3): Z = 100(5) + 70(3) = 500 + 210 = 710$
At $D(2, 3): Z = 100(2) + 70(3) = 200 + 210 = 410$
The maximum value of $Z$ is $800$ at point $B(8, 0)$.

D
$3x + 4y \geq 12, y - x \leq 0, y \geq 3, x, y \geq 0$

Solution

(C) The shaded region is bounded by three lines and the axes in the first quadrant:
$1$. The line passing through $(0, 3)$ and $(4, 0)$ is given by $\frac{x}{4} + \frac{y}{3} = 1$,which simplifies to $3x + 4y = 12$. Since the shaded region is towards the origin side,the inequality is $3x + 4y \leq 12$.
$2$. The line passing through $(0, 0)$ and $(3, 3)$ is $y = x$,which is $y - x = 0$. The shaded region is above this line,so the inequality is $y \geq x$ or $y - x \geq 0$.
$3$. The horizontal line passing through $(0, 3)$ is $y = 3$. The shaded region is below this line,so the inequality is $y \leq 3$.
$4$. Since the region is in the first quadrant,$x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.
Combining these,the inequalities are $3x + 4y \leq 12, y - x \geq 0, y \leq 3, x, y \geq 0$.

(D) To find the feasible region,we analyze the given inequations in the $1^{\text{st}}$ quadrant $(x \geq 0, y \geq 0)$:
$1$. For $x-2y \leq 2$: The line passes through $(2, 0)$ and $(0, -1)$. Testing $(0, 0)$,$0-0 \leq 2$ is true,so the region is towards the origin side.
$2$. For $5x+2y \geq 10$: The line passes through $(2, 0)$ and $(0, 5)$. Testing $(0, 0)$,$0+0 \geq 10$ is false,so the region is away from the origin side.
$3$. For $4x+5y \leq 20$: The line passes through $(5, 0)$ and $(0, 4)$. Testing $(0, 0)$,$0+0 \leq 20$ is true,so the region is towards the origin side.

D
$2 x+y \geq 2, x-y \geq 1, x+2 y \geq 8$

Solution

(B) To determine the linear constraints for the shaded region,we analyze the position of the region relative to each line:
$1$. For the line $2x + y = 2$,the shaded region lies on the side away from the origin (non-origin side). Testing the point $(1, 1)$,we get $2(1) + 1 = 3 \geq 2$. Thus,the constraint is $2x + y \geq 2$.
$2$. For the line $x - y = 1$,the shaded region lies on the side containing the origin. Testing the point $(0, 0)$,we get $0 - 0 = 0 \leq 1$. Thus,the constraint is $x - y \leq 1$.
$3$. For the line $x + 2y = 8$,the shaded region lies on the side containing the origin. Testing the point $(0, 0)$,we get $0 + 2(0) = 0 \leq 8$. Thus,the constraint is $x + 2y \leq 8$.
Therefore,the required linear constraints are $2x + y \geq 2, x - y \leq 1, x + 2y \leq 8$.

At $A(4, 0)$: $z = 3(4) + 5(0) = 12$
At $B(4, 3)$: $z = 3(4) + 5(3) = 12 + 15 = 27$
At $C(2, 6)$: $z = 3(2) + 5(6) = 6 + 30 = 36$

$3x + 4y \leq 12, 4x + 7y \geq 28, y \geq 1, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

Solution

(B) $1$. Identify the lines bounding the region: The lines are $3x + 4y = 12$ (intercepts $(4,0)$ and $(0,3)$),$4x + 7y = 28$ (intercepts $(7,0)$ and $(0,4)$),and $y = 1$.
$2$. Analyze the inequalities:
- For the line $3x + 4y = 12$,the shaded region is away from the origin,so the inequality is $3x + 4y \geq 12$.
- For the line $4x + 7y = 28$,the shaded region is towards the origin,so the inequality is $4x + 7y \leq 28$.
- For the line $y = 1$,the shaded region is above the line,so the inequality is $y \geq 1$.
- Since the region is in the first quadrant,we have $x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.
$3$. Combining these,the system of inequalities is $3x + 4y \geq 12, 4x + 7y \leq 28, y \geq 1, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

At $(2,3)$,$z=10(2)+25(3)=20+75=95$
At $(0,3)$,$z=10(0)+25(3)=75$
Comparing these values,the maximum value of $z$ is $95$.

The solution set of the inequalities $4x + 3y \leq 60$,$y \geq 2x$,$x \geq 3$,$x, y \geq 0$ is represented by which region?
Question diagram
A
$S_2$ region
B
$S_1$ region
C
$S_3$ region
D
$S_4$ region

Solution

(A) To find the feasible region,we analyze the given inequalities:
$1$. $4x + 3y \leq 60$: This represents the region on or below the line passing through $(15, 0)$ and $(0, 20)$.
$2$. $y \geq 2x$: This represents the region on or above the line passing through $(0, 0)$ and $(3, 6)$.
$3$. $x \geq 3$: This represents the region to the right of the vertical line $x = 3$.
$4$. $x, y \geq 0$: This represents the first quadrant.
By testing a point $(4, 10)$ which lies in the $S_2$ region:
- $4(4) + 3(10) = 16 + 30 = 46 \leq 60$ (True)
- $10 \geq 2(4) = 8$ (True)
- $4 \geq 3$ (True)
- $4, 10 \geq 0$ (True)
Since all conditions are satisfied,the solution set is represented by the $S_2$ region.

The shaded region in the following figure represents the solution set for a certain linear programming problem. The linear constraints for this region are given by:
Question diagram
A
$2x + 3y \geq 6, -x + 2y \geq 2, 3x + 6y \leq 18, x - 3y \geq 3, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$
B
$2x + 3y \geq 6, -x + 2y \leq 2, x - 3y \leq 3, x + 2y \geq 18, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$
C
$2x + 3y \leq 6, -x + 2y \geq 2, 3x + 6y \leq 18, x - 3y \leq 3, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$
D
$2x + 3y \geq 6, 3x + 6y \leq 18, x - 3y \leq 3, -x + 2y \leq 2, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

Solution

(D) To determine the linear constraints,we analyze the boundary lines of the shaded region:
$1$. The line passing through $(3, 0)$ and $(0, 2)$ is $2x + 3y = 6$. Since the shaded region is away from the origin,the constraint is $2x + 3y \geq 6$.
$2$. The line passing through $(0, 3)$ and $(6, 0)$ is $3x + 6y = 18$. Since the shaded region is towards the origin,the constraint is $3x + 6y \leq 18$.
$3$. The line passing through $(3, 0)$ and $(0, -1)$ is $x - 3y = 3$. Since the shaded region is towards the origin,the constraint is $x - 3y \leq 3$.
$4$. The line passing through $(0, 1)$ and $(2, 2)$ is $-x + 2y = 2$. Since the shaded region is towards the origin,the constraint is $-x + 2y \leq 2$.
$5$. Since the region is in the first quadrant,$x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.
Thus,the correct constraints are $2x + 3y \geq 6, 3x + 6y \leq 18, x - 3y \leq 3, -x + 2y \leq 2, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

The graphical solution set of the system of in-equations $x+y \leq 70, x+2y \leq 100, 2x+y \leq 120, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ is given by:
Question diagram

Solution

(D) The given system of in-equations is:
$x+y \leq 70$
$x+2y \leq 100$
$2x+y \leq 120$
$x \geq 0, y \geq 0$
Since all the inequalities $x+y \leq 70$,$x+2y \leq 100$,and $2x+y \leq 120$ are satisfied by the origin $(0,0)$ (as $0+0 \leq 70$,$0+0 \leq 100$,and $0+0 \leq 120$ are all true),the feasible region must lie towards the origin in the first quadrant.
By analyzing the lines and the constraints $x \geq 0, y \geq 0$,the common shaded region that satisfies all these conditions is represented by Fig. $3$.

A
$24$
B
$23$
C

D

Solution

(C) The feasible region is determined by the constraints $2x+3y \leq 12$,$2x+y \leq 8$,$x \geq 0$,and $y \geq 0$. The corner points of the feasible region are $(0, 0)$,$(4, 0)$,$(3, 2)$,and $(0, 4)$.
We evaluate the objective function $z=4x+5y$ at these corner points:
At $(0, 0)$: $z = 4(0) + 5(0) = 0$
At $(4, 0)$: $z = 4(4) + 5(0) = 16$
At $(3, 2)$: $z = 4(3) + 5(2) = 12 + 10 = 22$
At $(0, 4)$: $z = 4(0) + 5(4) = 20$
The maximum value of $z$ is $22$ at the point $(3, 2)$.

B
$240, (0, 40)$
C
$100, (25, 0)$
D
$254, (14, 33)$

Solution

(D) The feasible region is bounded by the corner points $(0, 80)$,$(14, 33)$,and $(80, 0)$.
We evaluate the objective function $Z = 4x + 6y$ at each corner point:
$1$. At $(0, 80)$: $Z = 4(0) + 6(80) = 480$
$2$. At $(14, 33)$: $Z = 4(14) + 6(33) = 56 + 198 = 254$
$3$. At $(80, 0)$: $Z = 4(80) + 6(0) = 320$
Comparing these values,the minimum value of $Z$ is $254$,which occurs at the point $(14, 33)$.

The maximum value of $Z = 5x + 2y$,subject to the constraints $2x - y \geq 2$,$x + 2y \leq 8$,and $x, y \geq 0$,is:
A
$40$
B
$25.6$
C
$20$
D
$17.6$

Solution

(A) To find the maximum value of $Z = 5x + 2y$,we identify the feasible region defined by the constraints:
$1$. $2x - y \geq 2$
$2$. $x + 2y \leq 8$
$3$. $x, y \geq 0$
The boundary lines are $2x - y = 2$ and $x + 2y = 8$.
- For $2x - y = 2$,the intercepts are $(1, 0)$ and $(0, -2)$.
- For $x + 2y = 8$,the intercepts are $(8, 0)$ and $(0, 4)$.
To find the intersection point of $2x - y = 2$ and $x + 2y = 8$:
Multiply the first equation by $2$: $4x - 2y = 4$.
Adding this to $x + 2y = 8$,we get $5x = 12$,so $x = 2.4$.
Substituting $x = 2.4$ into $2x - y = 2$: $2(2.4) - y = 2 \implies 4.8 - y = 2 \implies y = 2.8$.
The vertices of the feasible region are $(1, 0)$,$(8, 0)$,and $(2.4, 2.8)$.
Now,evaluate $Z = 5x + 2y$ at these vertices:
- At $(1, 0)$: $Z = 5(1) + 2(0) = 5$
- At $(8, 0)$: $Z = 5(8) + 2(0) = 40$
- At $(2.4, 2.8)$: $Z = 5(2.4) + 2(2.8) = 12 + 5.6 = 17.6$
Comparing these values,the maximum value is $40$ at $(8, 0)$.

$2650$ at $(50, 10)$
B
$1000$ at $(20, 0)$
C
$900$ at $(0, 60)$
D
$1250$ at $(10, 50)$

Solution

(D) To find the maximum value of $z=50x+15y$,we evaluate the objective function at the corner points of the feasible region.
The corner points of the feasible region are $(0, 0)$,$(20, 0)$,$(10, 50)$,and $(0, 60)$.
Evaluating $z$ at each point:
$1$. At $(0, 0)$: $z = 50(0) + 15(0) = 0$
$2$. At $(20, 0)$: $z = 50(20) + 15(0) = 1000$
$3$. At $(10, 50)$: $z = 50(10) + 15(50) = 500 + 750 = 1250$
$4$. At $(0, 60)$: $z = 50(0) + 15(60) = 900$
The maximum value is $1250$,which occurs at the point $(10, 50)$.

For the following shaded region,the linear constraints are:

$x+2 y \leq 6, 5 x+3 y \leq 15, x \leq 7, y \leq 6, x, y \geq 0$
B
$x+2 y \leq 6, 5 x+3 y \geq 15, x \leq 7, y \leq 6, x, y \geq 0$
C
$x+2 y \geq 6, 5 x+3 y \leq 15, x \leq 7, y \leq 6, x, y \geq 0$
D
$x+2 y \geq 6, 5 x+3 y \geq 15, x \leq 7, y \leq 6, x, y \geq 0$

Solution

(D) To determine the linear constraints for the shaded region,we analyze each boundary line:
$1$. The line $x+2y=6$ has the shaded region on the side away from the origin (since the point $(7, 6)$ satisfies $7+12=19 \geq 6$). Thus,the constraint is $x+2y \geq 6$.
$2$. The line $5x+3y=15$ has the shaded region on the side away from the origin (since the point $(7, 6)$ satisfies $35+18=53 \geq 15$). Thus,the constraint is $5x+3y \geq 15$.
$3$. The vertical line $x=7$ has the shaded region to its left,so $x \leq 7$.
$4$. The horizontal line $y=6$ has the shaded region below it,so $y \leq 6$.
$5$. The region is in the first quadrant,so $x, y \geq 0$.
Combining these,the constraints are $x+2y \geq 6, 5x+3y \geq 15, x \leq 7, y \leq 6, x, y \geq 0$.

$10, (5,0)$
B
$12, (6,0)$
C
$9, (1.5, 6)$
D
$21, (0.5, 0)$

Solution

(B) The feasible region is bounded by the lines $x+y=5$,$4x+3y=24$,$x=0$,and $y=0$.
To find the corner points,we identify the vertices of the shaded region:
$1$. The intersection of $x=0$ and $4x+3y=24$ gives $(0, 8)$.
$2$. The intersection of $x=0$ and $x+y=5$ gives $(0, 5)$.
$3$. The intersection of $x+y=5$ and $4x+3y=24$ is found by solving the system: $y=5-x \implies 4x+3(5-x)=24 \implies x=9, y=-4$ (Not in the first quadrant).
Looking at the graph,the vertices are $(0, 5)$,$(0, 8)$,and the intersection of $4x+3y=24$ with the $x$-axis $(6, 0)$ and $x+y=5$ with the $x$-axis $(5, 0)$.
Evaluating $Z=2x+y$ at the corner points:
At $(0, 5)$,$Z = 2(0) + 5 = 5$.
At $(0, 8)$,$Z = 2(0) + 8 = 8$.
At $(5, 0)$,$Z = 2(5) + 0 = 10$.
At $(6, 0)$,$Z = 2(6) + 0 = 12$.
The maximum value is $12$ at the point $(6, 0)$.

A
$(2,2)$
B
$(4,2)$
C
$(1,2)$
D

Solution

(C) To find the point in the feasible region,we must check which point satisfies all the given inequalities:
$1$) $x+y \leq 3$
$2$) $2x+5y \geq 10$
$3$) $x \geq 0, y \geq 0$
Let us test the given options:
For option $(A)$ $(2,2)$: $2+2 = 4 \not\leq 3$. (False)
For option $(B)$ $(4,2)$: $4+2 = 6 \not\leq 3$. (False)
For option $(C)$ $(1,2)$: $1+2 = 3 \leq 3$ (True),$2(1)+5(2) = 2+10 = 12 \geq 10$ (True),and $1 \geq 0, 2 \geq 0$ (True). (True)
For option $(D)$ $(2,1)$: $2(2)+5(1) = 4+5 = 9 \not\geq 10$. (False)
Thus,the point $(1,2)$ satisfies all the inequalities and lies in the feasible region.

$3x + 4y \leq 18, 2x + 3y \geq 3, x - 6y \geq 3, -x + 2y \geq 2, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$
D
$3x + 4y \leq 18, 2x + 3y \leq 3, x - 6y \geq 3, -x + 2y \leq 2, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

Solution

(B) To determine the linear constraints,we analyze the half-planes defined by each line for the shaded region:
$1$. For the line $3x + 4y = 18$,the origin $(0,0)$ satisfies $3(0) + 4(0) = 0 \leq 18$. Since the shaded region contains the origin relative to this line,the constraint is $3x + 4y \leq 18$.
$2$. For the line $2x + 3y = 3$,the origin $(0,0)$ gives $2(0) + 3(0) = 0 \leq 3$. Since the shaded region is on the side away from the origin,the constraint is $2x + 3y \geq 3$.
$3$. For the line $x - 6y = 3$,the origin $(0,0)$ gives $0 - 0 = 0 \leq 3$. Since the shaded region is on the side containing the origin,the constraint is $x - 6y \leq 3$.
$4$. For the line $-x + 2y = 2$,the origin $(0,0)$ gives $0 + 0 = 0 \leq 2$. Since the shaded region is on the side containing the origin,the constraint is $-x + 2y \leq 2$.
$5$. The region is in the first quadrant,so $x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.
Thus,the correct set of constraints is $3x + 4y \leq 18, 2x + 3y \geq 3, x - 6y \leq 3, -x + 2y \leq 2, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

D
$x, y \geq 0 ; x-y \geq 0 ; x \geq 5 ; y \leq 3$

Solution

(A) $1$. The shaded region is bounded by the lines $x=0$ ($Y$-axis),$y=0$ ($X$-axis),$x=5$,$y=3$,and the line passing through $(0,0)$ and $(3,3)$.
$2$. The line passing through $(0,0)$ and $(3,3)$ has the equation $y=x$,which can be written as $x-y=0$. Since the shaded region lies below this line,the constraint is $x-y \geq 0$.
$3$. The vertical line $x=5$ bounds the region on the right,so $x \leq 5$.
$4$. The horizontal line $y=3$ bounds the region on the top,so $y \leq 3$.
$5$. Since the region is in the first quadrant,$x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.

Solution

(B) The constraints are $2x + y \geq 7$,$2x + 3y \leq 15$,$y \leq 3$,$x \geq 0$,and $y \geq 0$.
From the graph,the vertices of the feasible region are $A(3.5, 0)$,$B(7.5, 0)$,$C(3, 3)$,and $D(2, 3)$.
We evaluate the objective function $z = 4x + 5y$ at these vertices:
$z(A) = 4(3.5) + 5(0) = 14 + 0 = 14$
$z(B) = 4(7.5) + 5(0) = 30 + 0 = 30$
$z(C) = 4(3) + 5(3) = 12 + 15 = 27$
$z(D) = 4(2) + 5(3) = 8 + 15 = 23$
The minimum value is $14$,which occurs at point $A(3.5, 0)$. Since point $A$ lies on the $X$-axis,the minimum value occurs on the $X$-axis.

We evaluate the objective function $Z = 10x + 25y$ at each vertex:
Vertex$Z = 10x + 25y$
$O(0, 0)$$10(0) + 25(0) = 0$
$A(3, 0)$$10(3) + 25(0) = 30$
$B(3, 2)$$10(3) + 25(2) = 30 + 50 = 80$
$C(2, 3)$$10(2) + 25(3) = 20 + 75 = 95$
