Need solution for RD Sharma maths Class 12 Chapter 29 Linear Programming Exercise Multiple Choice Question Question 13 textbook solution.

Answers (1)

Answer : (b) x_{1}=2, x_{2}=6, z=36

Hint :

Convert the inequalities into equation

Given:  z_{\max }=3 x_{1}+5 x_{2}  Subject to the constraints are

\begin{aligned} &3 x_{1}+2 x_{2} \leq 18 \\ &x_{1} \leq 4 \\ &x_{2} \leq 6 \\ &x_{1} \geq 0, x_{2} \geq 0 \end{aligned}

Solution :

By the graphical method,

Now,

\begin{aligned} &3 x_{1}+2 x_{2} \leq 18 \\ &\frac{x_{1}}{6}+\frac{x_{2}}{9} \leq 1 \end{aligned}

Checking coordinates,

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{At}(0,0) \rightarrow z=0 \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{At}(4,0) \rightarrow z=12 \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{At}(4,3) \rightarrow z=27 \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{At}(2,6) \rightarrow z=36 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{At}(0,6) \rightarrow z=30 \\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &z_{\max }=36_{\mathrm{at}}(2,6) \end{aligned}

So, the correct option is (b)
