The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are (0, 0), (0, 40), (20, 40), (60, 20), (60, 0). The objective function is Z = 4x + 3y.

Compare the quantity in Column A and Column B.

\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \text { Column A } & \text { Column B } \\ \hline \text { Maximum of Z } & 325 \\ \hline \end{array}

A. The quantity in column A is greater

B. The quantity in column B is greater

C. The two quantities are equal

D. The relationship cannot be determined on the basis of the information supplied

B)

The quantity in column B is greater

Z = 4x + 3y

Corner points- (0, 0), (0, 40), (20, 40), (60, 20), (60, 0)

A feasible region is bounded.

Value of Z at corner points-

At (0, 0), Z = 0

At (0, 40), Z = 120

At (20, 40), Z = 200

At (60, 20), Z = 300

At (60, 0), Z = 240

Clearly, the maximum value of Z is 300, which is less than 325.
