Question

 

Solve the following linear programming problem graphically:

Maximize  Z = 50x + 15y  

Subject to

            5x + y ≤ 100

             x + y ≤ 60

             x, y ≥ 0.

Solution

Correct option is

x = 10 and y = 50 will give the maximum value ofZ = 1250

 

We first convert the inequations into equations to obtain the lines 5x + y=100, x + y = 60, x = 0 and y = 0.  

The line 5x + y = 100 meets the coordinate axes at A1 (20, 0) and B1 (0, 100). Join these points to obtain the line 5x + y = 100. 

The line x + y = 60 meets the coordinates axes at A2 (60, 0) and B2 (0, 60). Join these points to obtain the line x + y = 60.  

Also,        x = 0 is the y-axis and y = 0 is the x-axis.

The feasible region of the LPP is shaded in fig. The coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region OA1 PB2 are O (0, 0), A1 (20, 0),P(10, 50) and B2 (0, 60).

                                                                        

 

Now, we take a constant value, say 300 (i.e. 2 times the 1.c.m. of 50 and 15) for Z. Then, 

                    300 = 50x + 15y

This line meets the coordinate axes at P1 (6, 0) and Q1 (0, 20). Join these points by a dotted line. Now move this line parallel to itself in the increasing direction i.e. away from the origin. P2Q2 and P3Q3 are such lines. Out of these lines locate a line which is farthest from the origin and has a least one point common to the feasible region. Clearly, P3Q3 is such line and it passes thorough the vertex P (10, 15) the convex polygon OA1PB2. Hence, x = 10 and y = 50 will give the maximum value of Z. The maximum value of Z is given by
