Subjective

Maximise $Z=3 x+4 y$, subject to the constraints $x+y \leq 1, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

Explanation

Maximise $Z=3 x+4 y$, Subject to the constraints

$$x+y \leq 1, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$$

The shaded region shown in the figure as $O A B$ is bounded and the coordinates of corner points $O, A$ and $B$ are $(0,0),(1,0)$ and $(0,1)$, respectively.

Corner points Corresponding value of Z
$(0,0)$ 0
$(1,0)$ 3
$(0,1)$ 4 $\leftarrow$ Maximum

Hence, the maximum value of Z is 4 at (0, 1).

Subjective

Maximise the function $Z=11 x+7 y$, subject to the constraints $x \leq 3$, $y \leq 2, x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.

Explanation

Maximise $Z=11 x+7 y$, subject to the constraints $x \leq 3, y \leq 2, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

The shaded region as shown in the figure as $O A B C$ is bounded and the coordinates of corner points are $(0,0),(3,0),(3,2)$ and $(0,2)$, respectively.

Corner points Corresponding value of Z
$(0,0)$ 0
$(3,0)$ 33
$(3,2)$ 47 $\leftarrow$ Maximum
$(0,2)$ 14

Hence, Z is maximum at (3, 2) and its maximum value is 47.

4
Subjective

Minimise $Z=13 x-15 y$ subject to the constraints $x+y \leq 7$, $2 x-3 y+6 \geq 0, x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.

Explanation

Minimise $Z=13 x-15 y$ subject to the constraints $x+y \leq 7,2 x-3 y+6 \geq 0, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

Shaded region shown as $O A B C$ is bounded and coordinates of its corner points are $(0,0)$, $(7,0),(3,4)$ and $(0,2)$, respectively.

Corner points Corresponding value of Z
$(0,0)$ 0
$(3,0)$ 33
$(3,2)$ 47 $\leftarrow$ Maximum
$(0,2)$ 14

Hence, the minimum value of Z is $(-30)$ at (0, 2).

5
Subjective

Determine the maximum value of $Z=3 x+4 y$, if the feasible region (shaded) for a LPP is shown in following figure.

Explanation

As clear from the graph, corner points are $O, A, E$ and $D$ with coordinates $(0,0),(52,0)$, $(144,16)$ and $(0,38)$, respectively. Also, given region is bounded.

$$\begin{array}{lrl} \text { Here, } & Z & =3 x+4 y \\ \because & 2 x+y & =104 \text { and } 2 x+4 y=152 \\ \Rightarrow & -3 y & =-48 \\ \Rightarrow & y & =16 \text { and } x=44 \end{array}$$

Corner points Corresponding value of Z
$(0,0)$ 0
$(52,0)$ 156
$(44,16)$ 196 $\leftarrow$ Maximum
$(0,38)$ 152

Hence, $Z$ is at $(44,16)$ is maximum and its maximum value is 196 .

6
Subjective

Feasible region (shaded) for a LPP is shown in following figure. Maximise $Z=5 x+7 y$.

Explanation

The shaded region is bounded and has coordinates of corner points as $(0,0),(7,0),(3,4)$ and $(0,2)$. Also, $Z=5 x+7 y$.

Corner points Corresponding value of Z
$(0,0)$ 0
$(7,0)$ 35
$(3,4)$ 43 $\leftarrow$ Maximum
$(0,2)$ 14

Hence, the maximum value of Z is 43 at (3, 4).
