Question

Maximize: z = 3x1 + 4x2 subject to 2x1 + x2 ≤ 40, 2x1 + 5x2 ≤ 180, x1, x2 ≥ 0. In the LPP, which one of the following is feasible comer point?

Options

  • x1 = 18, x2 = 24

  • x1 = 15, x2 = 30

  • x1 = 2.5, x2 = 35

  • x1 = 20.5, x2 = 19

MCQ

Solution

x1 = 2.5, x2 = 35

Explanation:

z = 3x1 + 4x2

Let us solve the equations

2x1 + x2 = 40 ………(1)

2x1 + 5x2 = 180 ……….(2)

− 4x2 = − 140 ....[Equation (1) − (2)]

x2 = 35

We have 2x1 + x2 = 40
2x1 + 35 = 40

2x1 = 5

x1 = 2.5
