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 $ ..........$
- ✓
$5p = 2q$
- B
$2p = 5q$
- C
$p = 2q$
- D
$q = 3p$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $5p = 2q$
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 $(5, 5).$

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 $ .........:$
- A
$5440$
- B
$4800$
- C
$4560$
- ✓
$0$
AnswerWe 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 $z = 0$

Consider the objective function $Z = 40x + 50y$ The minimum number of constraints that are required to maximize $Z$ are :
AnswerSince in the given function $Z = 40x + 50y,$ two variables are used.
So, the two constraints will be $\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$ and the third one will be of the type
$\text{ax}+\text{by}\geq\text{c}.$
Hence, at least $3$ constraints are required.
