09. Shown below is the feasible region of a linear programming problem (L.P.P.) whose objective
function is : Maximize Z x y .
A student Drishti claimed that there exists no optimal solution for the L.P.P. as there is no
unique maximum value at the corner points of its feasible region. Based on her statement,
choose most appropriate option.
(a) Her claim is correct, as there are two corner
points of its feasible region at which maximum
value of Z occurs.
(b) Her claim is false, as there are exactly two
2 7
corner points i.e., , and (2, 1) at which the
3 3
maximum value of Z occurs, which is 3.
(c) Her claim is false, as every point on the line
2 7
joining , and (2, 1) gives the maximum
3 3
value of Z, which is 3.
(d) Her claim is false, as the maximum value of Z
occurs at (2, 0), which is 2.
