Question 1. Maximize Z = 5x + 2y, 

Subject to

3x + 5y ≤ 15

5x + 2y ≤ 10

x, y ≥ 0

Solution:

Convert the given in equations into equations, 

We will get the following equations:

3x + 5y = 15, 

5x + 2y = 10, 

x = 0 and 

y = 0

Area represented by 3x + 5y ≤ 15:

The line 3x + 5y = 15 connects the coordinate axes at A(5,0) and B(0,3) respectively. 

By connecting these points we will get the line 3x + 5y = 15.

Thus,

(0,0) assure the in equation 3x + 5y ≤ 15. 

Hence,

The area having the origin shows the solution set of the in equation 3x + 5y ≤ 15.

Area shows by 5x + 2y ≤ 10:

The line 5x + 2y = 10 connects the coordinate axes at C(2,0) and D(0,5) respectively. 

By connecting these points we will get the line 5x + 2y = 10.

Thus, 

(0,0) satisfies the in equation 5x + 2y ≤ 10. 

Hence,

The area having the origin shows the solution set of the in equation 5x + 2y ≤ 10.

Area shows by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:

Here, 

All the point in the first quadrant assures these in equations. 

Thus, 

The first quadrant is the area shows by the in equations x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0.

The feasible area determined by the system of constraints, 3x + 5y ≤ 15, 5x + 2y ≤ 10, x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0, are as follows.

 The corner points of the feasible area are O(0, 0), C(2, 0), E  and B(0, 3).

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

Question 2. Maximize Z = 9x + 3y

Subject to

2x + 3y ≤ 13

3x + y ≤ 5

x, y ≥ 0

Solution:

We will get the following equations:

2x + 3y = 13, 

3x +y = 5, 

x = 0 and 

y = 0

Area shown by 2x + 3y ≤ 13:

The line 2x + 3y = 13 connects the coordinate axes at A  and B  respectively.

By connecting these points we will get the line 2x + 3y = 13.

Thus,

(0,0) assures the line equation 2x + 3y ≤ 13. 

Thus, the area showing the origin represents the solution set of the in equation 2x + 3y ≤ 13.

The area shows by 3x + y ≤ 5:

The line 5x + 2y = 10 connects the coordinate axes at C  and D(0, 5) respectively. 

After connecting these points, 

We will get the line 3x + y = 5.

Thus,

(0,0) assures the in equation 3x + y ≤ 5. 

Thus,

The area having the origin represents the solution set of the in equation 3x + y ≤ 5.

Area shown by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:

Hence, 

All the point in the first quadrant assures these in equations. 

Thus, 

The first quadrant is the area shown by the in equations x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0.

The suitable area determined by the system of constraints, 

2x + 3y ≤ 13, 

3x + y ≤ 5, 

x ≥ 0, and 

y ≥ 0, are as follows.

We will get the following equations:

4x + y = 20, 

2x +3y = 30, 

x = 0 and 

y = 0

Area shown by 4x + y ≥ 20 :

The line 4x + y = 20 connects the coordinate axes at A(5, 0) and B(0, 20) respectively. 

By connecting these points we will get the line 4x + y = 20.

Thus,

(0,0) does not assure the in equation 4x + y ≥ 20. 

Thus,

The area in xy plane which does not have the origin represents the solution set of the in equation 4x + y ≥ 20.

Area shown by 2x +3y ≥ 30:

The line 2x +3y = 30 connects the coordinate axes at C(15,0) and D(0, 10) respectively. 

By joining these points we will get the line 2x +3y = 30.

Thus, (0,0) does not assure the in equation 2x +3y ≥ 30.

Thus,

The area which does not have the origin shows the solution set of the in equation 2x +3y ≥ 30.

Area shown by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:

Hence, 

Every point in the first quadrant assure these in equations. 

Thus, 

The first quadrant is the area shown by the in equations x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0.

The suitable area determined by the system of constraints, 4x + y ≥ 20, 2x +3y ≥ 30, x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0, are as follows.

The corner points of the suitable area are 

B(0, 20), 

C(15,0), 

E(3,8) and 

C(15,0).

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

Corner point	Z = 18x + 10y
B(0, 20)	18 × 0 + 10 × 20 = 200
E(3,8)	18 × 3 + 10 × 8 = 134
C(15,0)	18 × 15 + 10 ×0 = 270

Hence, 

The minimum value of Z is 134 at the point E(3,8). Hence, x = 3 and y =8 is the best solution of the given LPP.

Therefore, 

The best value of Z is 134.

We will get the following equations:

2x + y = 18, 3x + 2y = 34

The area shown by 2x + y ≥ 18:

The line 2x + y = 18 connects the coordinate axes at A(9, 0) and B(0, 18) respectively. 

After connecting these points 

We will get the line 2x + y = 18.

Thus,

(0,0) does not assure the in equation 2x + y ≥ 18. 

Thus,

The region in xy plane which does not have the origin represents the solution set of the in equation 2x + y ≥ 18.

The area shown by 3x + 2y ≤ 34:

The line 3x + 2y = 34 connects the coordinate axes at C , 0 and D(0, 17) respectively. 

After joining these points we will get the line 3x + 2y = 34.

Thus,

(0,0) assure the in equation 3x + 2y ≤ 34. 

Thus,

The area having the origin shows the solution set of the in equation 3x + 2y ≤ 34.

The corner points of the suitable area are 

A(9, 0), C  and E(2, 14).

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

Corner point	Z = 50x + 30y
A(9, 0)	50 × 9 + 3 × 0 = 450
C	50 ×  + 30 × 0 =
E(2, 14)	50 × 2 + 30 × 14 = 520

8x + 6y = 48, 

x = 5, 

y = 6, 

x = 0 and 

y = 0.

The line 3x + 4y = 24 connects the coordinate axis at A(8, 0) and B(0,6). 

Connect these points to get the line 3x + 4y = 24.

Thus, 

(0, 0) assure the in equation 3x + 4y ≤ 24.

Thus, 

The area in xy-plane that have the origin showing the solution set of the given equation.

The line 8x + 6y = 48 connects the coordinate axis at C(6, 0) and D(0,8). Connect these points to get the line 8x + 6y = 48.

Thus,

(0, 0) assures the in equation 8x + 6y  ≤ 48. 

Thus, 

The area in xy-plane that have the origin shows the solution set of the given equation.

x = 5 is the line passing through x = 5 parallel to the Y axis.

y = 6 is the line passing through y = 6 parallel to the X axis.

The area shown by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:

Hence,

Thus, 

The first quadrant is the area shows by the in equations.

These lines are drawn using a suitable scale.

The corner points of the suitable area are O(0, 0), G(5, 0), F , E 

and B(0, 6).

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

Corner point	Z = 4x + 3y
O(0, 0)	4× 0 + 3 × 0 = 0
G(5, 0)	4 × 5 + 3 × 0 = 20
F	4 × 5 + 3 ×  = 24
E	4 ×  + 3 ×  = = 24
B(0, 6)	4 × 0 + 3 × 6 = 18

Here we can see that the maximum value of the objective function Z is 24

The line 3x + 2y = 80 connects the coordinate axes at A , 0 and B(0, 40) respectively. 

By connecting these points we will get the line 3x + 2y = 80.

Thus,

(0,0) assure the in equation 3x + 2y ≤ 80 .

The area shown by 2x + 3y ≤ 70:

The line 2x + 3y = 70 connects the coordinate axes at C(35, 0)C35, 0 and D(0, 703)D0, 703 respectively. 

After connecting these points we will get the line 2x + 3y ≤ 70.

Thus,

(0,0) assure the in equation 2x + 3y ≤ 70. 

Thus,

The area having the origin shows the solution set of the in equation 2x + 3y ≤ 70.

The area shown by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:

Hence, 

Every point in the first quadrant assure these in equations. 

Thus, 

The first quadrant is the area shown by the in equations x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0.

The suitable area determined by the system of constraints, 3x + 2y ≤ 80, 2x + 3y ≤ 70, x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0 are as follows.

The corner points of the suitable area are O(0, 0), A , 0 ,E(20, 10) and D .

E(20, 10)	15 × 20 + 10 × 10 = 400
D	15 × 0 + 10 × =

Thus we can see that the maximum value of the objective function Z is 400 which is at A , 

and E(20, 10).

Therefore, 

The best value of Z is 400.

Question 7.  Maximize Z = 10x + 6y

The area shown by 2x + 5y  ≤ 34:

The line 2x + 5y = 34 connects the coordinate axes at C(17, 0) and D  respectively. 

After connecting these points we will get the line 2x + 5y ≤ 34.

Thus,

The corner points of the suitable area are O(0, 0), A(4, 0) ,E(2, 6) and D.

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

Corner point	Z = 10x + 6y
O(0, 0)	10 × 0 + 6 × 0 = 0
A(4, 0)A4, 0	10× 4 + 6 × 0 = 40
E(2, 6)E2, 6	10 × 2 + 6 × 6 = 56

Question 8.  Maximize Z = 3x + 4y

Subject to

After connecting these points we will get the line 2x + 2y = 80.

Thus, 

(0,0) assure the in equation 2x + 2y ≤ 80. 

Thus,

The area having the origin represents the solution set of the in equation 2x + 2y ≤ 80.

The area shown by 2x + 4y ≤ 120:

The line 2x + 4y = 120 connects the coordinate axes at C(60, 0) and D(0, 30) respectively. 

After connecting these points we will get the line 2x + 4y ≤ 120.

Thus,

(0,0) assure the in equation 2x + 4y ≤ 120. 

Thus,

The area having the origin represents the solution set of the in equation 2x + 4y ≤ 120.

The suitable area determined by the system of constraints, 2x + 2y ≤ 80, 2x + 4y ≤ 120 are as follows:

The corner points of the suitable area are O(0, 0), A(40, 0), E(20, 20) and D(0, 30).

E(20, 20)	3 × 20 + 4 × 20 = 140
D(0, 30)	10 × 0 + 4 ×30 = 120

Here we can see that the maximum value of the objective function Z is 140 which is at E(20, 20) that means at

x = 20 and y = 20.

Therefore, 

The best value of Z is 140.

Question 9. Maximize Z = 7x + 10y

Subject to

x + y ≤ 30000

       y ≤ 12000

       x ≥ 6000

       x ≥ y

   x, y ≥ 0

Solution:

Here we have to maximize Z = 7x + 10y

Convert the given in equations into equations, 

We will get the following equations:

x + y = 30000,y = 12000, x = 6000, x = y, x = 0 and y = 0.

Region represented by x + y ≤ 30000:

The line x + y = 30000 connects the coordinate axes at A(30000, 0) and B(0, 30000) respectively. 

After connecting these points we will get the line x + y = 30000.

Thus, (0,0) assure the in equation x + y ≤ 30000. 

Thus,

the area having the origin represents the solution set of the in equation x + y ≤ 30000.

The line y = 12000 is the line that passes through C(0,12000) and parallel to x axis.

The line x = 6000 is the line that passes through (6000, 0) and parallel to y axis.

The area shown by x ≥ y

The line x = y is the line that passes through origin.The points to the right of the line x = y assure the inequation x ≥ y.

Like by taking the point (−12000, 6000).

Here, 6000 > −12000 which implies y > x. 

Hence, 

the points to the left of the line x = y will not assure the given inequation x ≥ y.

The area shown by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:

Hence, 

All the point in the first quadrant assure these inequations. 

Thus, 

the first quadrant is the area shown by the inequations x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0.

The suitable area determined by the system of constraints, x + y ≤ 30000, y ≤ 12000, x ≥ 6000, x ≥  y , x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 are as follows:

The corner points of the feasible region are 

D(6000, 0), 

A(3000, 

F(18000, 12000) and 

E(12000, 12000).

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

Corner point	Z = 7x + 10y
D(6000, 0)	7 × 6000 + 10 × 0 = 42000
A(3000, 0)A3000, 0	7× 3000 + 10 × 0 = 21000
F(18000, 12000)	7 × 18000 + 10 × 12000 = 246000
E(12000, 12000)	7 × 12000 + 10 ×12000 = 204000

Here we can see that the maximum value of the objective function Z is 246000 which is at F(18000, 12000) that means at

x = 18000 and y = 12000.

Therefore, 

The best value of Z is 246000.

Question 10. Minimize Z = 2x + 4y

Subject to

x + y ≥ 8

x + 4y ≥ 12

x ≥ 3, y ≥ 2

Solution:

Convert the given in equations into equations, we will get the following equations:

x + y = 8, x + 4y = 12, x = 3, y = 2

The area shows by x + y ≥ 8:

The line x + y = 8 connects the coordinate axes at A(8, 0) and B(0, 8) respectively. 

After connecting these points we will get the line x + y = 8.

Thus,

(0,0) does not assure the in equation x + y ≥ 8. 

Thus,

The region in xy plane which does not contain the origin represents the solution set of the in equation x + y ≥ 8.

The area shown by x + 4y ≥ 12:

The line x + 4y = 12 connects the coordinate axes at C(12, 0) and D(0, 3) respectively. 

After connecting these points we will get the line x + 4y = 12.

Thus,

(0,0) assure the in equation x + 4y ≥ 12. 

Thus,

the area in xy plane which having the origin represents the solution set of the in equation x + 4y ≥ 12.

The line x = 3 is the line that passes through the point (3, 0) and is parallel to Y axis.x ≥ 3 is the area to the right of the line

x = 3.

The line y = 2 is the line that passes through the point (0, 12) and is parallel to X axis.y ≥ 2 is the area above the line y = 2. 

The corner points of the suitable region are E(3, 5) and F(6, 2).

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

Corner point	Z = 2x + 4y
E(3, 5)	2 × 3 + 4 × 5 = 26
F(6, 2)	2 × 6 + 4 × 2 = 20

Therefore, 

The minimum value of Z is 20 at the point F(6, 2). 

Hence, x = 6 and y =2 is the best solution of the given LPP.

Therefore, 

The best value of Z is 20.
