➢ Answer

1. Ans. Consider the graph given below:

Corner points are

𝐴(2,3), 𝐵(3,3), 𝐶{2,0) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷(6,0)
3. Soln.

We have, maximise z = -3x – 5y

Converting the given inequations into equations,
we get
−2 x + y = 4 ........(i)
2. Ans. Given, L.P.P.
Minimise, 𝑍 = 6𝑥 − 𝑟 3𝑦 x+ y = 3 .........(ii)
Subject to constraints: x− 2 y = 2 ...........(iii)

We draw the graph of these lines.

As, x  0, y  0 so the solution lies in first
quadrant.
From graph, corner point of feasible region are
A(0, 4), B(8/3, 1/3) and C(0, 3)
The value of z at these corner points are shown
as:
Corner points z = −3x − 5 y

A(0, 4) -20 2x + 4 y = 8 ........(i)
B(8/3, 1/3) -29/3
3x + y = 6 ......(ii)
x+ y = 4 ........(iii)
C(0, 3) -15
x=0
−29 And y = 0.
Hence maximum value of z = . We need to maximize the objective function

z = 2x + 5 y
4. Soln. We have, maximize P = 70 x + 40 y These lines are drawn and the feasible region of the
Subject to : 3x + 2 y  9 L.P.P. is the shaded region:
3x + y  9
x  0, y  0
Convert all inequations into equation, we get
3x + 2 y = 9 ......(i)
3 x+ y = 9 .......(ii)
x = 0 and y = 0
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
x = 3, y = 0
So, point of intersection of equation (i) and (ii)
are (3, 0).

The point of intersection of (i) and (ii) is B (1.6, 1.2)

The coordinates of the corner points of the feasible
region are O(0, 0), A(0, 2), B(1.6, 1.2) and C(2, 0).
The value of the objective function at these points
are given in the following table:
The given shaded region is the feasible region. Corner Points Value of the
The corner points of the feasible region are O(0, objective function
0), A(0, 9/2) and B(3, 0). z = 2x + 5 y
Corner points Value of p = 70x + 40y
O(0, 0) 2x0+5x0=0
O(0, 0) 70 x 0 + 40 x 0 = 0
A (0, 2) 2 x 0 + 5 x 2 = 10
A(0, 9/2) 9
70  0 + 40  = 180 maximum

B(1.6, 1.2) 2 x 1.6 + 5 x 1.2 =
B(3, 0) 70  3 + 40  0 = 210 9.2
(maximum)
C(2, 0) 2x2+5x0=4
So, P is maximum at point B(3, 0).

Out of these values of z, the maximum value of z is

5. Soln. We first convert the inequalities into 10 which is attained at the point (0, 2). Thus the
equations to obtain lines maximum value of z is 10. Ans.

From the table, we find that 38 is the minimum
value of z at E(2, 4). Since the region is unbounded,
so we draw the graph of inequality 5x + 7y < 38 to
check whether the resulting open half plane has any
point common with the feasible region. Since it has
no point in common. So, the minimum value of z is
obtained at E(2, 4) and the minimum value of z =
38.

8. Soln. We have, Minimise Z = 5x + 10y,

Subject to constraints:
Maximise z = 7x + 10y, subject to 4x + 6y  240 ; x + 2 y  120
6 x + 3 y  240; x  10, x  0, y  0 x + y  60

or Max(= 410) at x = 30, y = 20 The shaded region ABCD is the feasible region and
is bounded. The corner points of the feasible region
are A(60, 0), B(120, 0), C(60, 30) and D(40, 20).
7. Soln. We have, minimize z = 5x + 7y,
Subject to constraints,
2 x + y  8, x + 2 y  10, x, y  0
To solve LPP graphically, we convert inequations
into equations.
Now,

l1 : 2x + y = 8, l2 : x + 2 y = 10 and x = 0, y = 0
