The corner points of the unbounded feasible region are A( 6, 0) and B ( 0, 3) .

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows:

Value of the objective function

Corner point Z  x  2y

A( 6, 0) 6

B ( 0, 3) 6

We observe the region x  2 y  6 have no points in common with the unbounded feasible region. Hence 1
the minimum value of z  6 . 2
It can be seen that the value of Z at points A and B is same. If we take any other point on the line
x  2 y  6 such as (2,2) on line x  2 y  6, then Z  6 .

Thus, the minimum value of Z occurs for more than 2 points, and is equal to 6. 2

⇒ 𝒙𝟏 𝟐 = 𝒙𝟐 𝟐 ⇒ (𝒙𝟏 − 𝒙𝟐 )(𝒙𝟏 + 𝒙𝟐 ) = 𝟎 ⇒ 𝒙𝟏 = 𝒙𝟐 as 𝒙𝟏 , 𝒙𝟐 ∈ [𝟎, 𝟐𝟎√𝟐]
∴ 𝒇 is one-one function
Now, 𝟎 ≤ 𝒚 ≤ 𝟐𝟎𝟎 hence the value of 𝒚 is non-negative

∴ for any arbitrary 𝒚 ∈ [𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟎], the pre-image of 𝒚 exists in [𝟎, 𝟐𝟎√𝟐] 1
hence 𝒇 is onto function.

There is a sharp corner at x  0 , so f  x  is not differentiable at x  0 .

Method 2:

For x  0, f  x   2 x (linear function) & when x  0, f  x   0 (constant function)

open half-plane has any point/s, in common with the feasible region or not.

Here, the resulting open half plane has points in common with the feasible region.

The given lines are non-parallel lines as vectors i  j  k and 2 j  k are not parallel. There is a

unique line segment PQ ( P lying on line  i  and Q on the other line  ii  ), which is at right

(i)P(Shell fired from exactly one of them hits the plane)
= P[(Shell from A hits the plane and Shell from B does not hit the plane) or (Shell
1
from A does not hit the plane and Shell from B hits the plane)]
= 0.3 × 0.8 + 0.7 × 0.2 = 0.38
1
(ii)P(Shell fired from B hit the plane/Exactly one of them hit the plane)
P(Shell ired from B hit the plane ∩ Exactly one of them hit the plane)
=
P(Exactly one of them hit the plane)
