Question
Maximum Z = 3x + 4y
Subject to
$2\text{x}+2\text{y}\leq80$
$2\text{x}+4\text{y}\leq120$

Answer

We have to maximize Z = 3x + 4y

First, we will convert the given inequations into equations, we obtain the following equations:

2x + 2y = 80, 2x + 4y = 120

Region represented by 2x + 2y ≤ 80:

The line 2x + 2y = 80 meets the coordinate axes at A(40, 0) and B(0, 40) respectively. By joining these

points we obtain the line 2x + 2y = 80.

Clearly (0, 0) satisfies the inequation 2x + 2y ≤ 80. So,the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x + 2y ≤ 80.

Region represented by 2x + 4y ≤ 120:

The line 2x + 4y = 120 meets the coordinate axes at C(60, 0) and D(0, 30) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 2x + 4y ≤ 120.

Clearly (0, 0) satisfies the inequation 2x + 4y ≤ 120. So,the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x + 4y ≤ 120.

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints, 2x + 2y ≤ 80, 2x + 4y ≤ 120 are as follows:

The corner points of the feasible region are O(0, 0), A(40, 0), E(20, 20) and D(0, 30).

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

Corner point
Z = 3x +4y
O(0, 0)
3 × 0 + 4 × 0 = 0
A(40, 0)
3 × 40 + 4 × 0 = 120
E(20, 20)
3 × 20 + 4 × 20 = 140
D(0, 30)
10 × 0 + 4 × 30 = 120
We see that the maximum value of the objective function Z is 140 which is at E(20, 20) that means at x = 20 and y = 20.

Thus, the optimal value of Z is 140.
