Determine the maximum value of $Z = 3x + 4y$, if the feasible region (shaded) for a LPP is shown in following figure.
Linear Programming — Class 12 Maths Solution
Question
Step-by-step Solution
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.
Here $Z = 3x + 4y$
$2x + y = 104$ and $2x + 4y = 152$
$\Rightarrow$ $- 3y = - 48$
$\Rightarrow$ $y = 16$ and $x = 44$
Hence, Z is at (44,16) is maximum and its maximum value is 196 .
