Linear Programming Question 80

Question: The minimum value of the objective function $ z=2x+10y $ for linear constraints $ x\ge 0,\ y\ge 0 $ , $ x-y\ge 0 $ , $ x-5y\le -5 $ , is

Options:

A) 10

B) 15

C) 12

D) 8

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Required region is unbounded whose vertex is $ ( \frac{5}{4},\frac{5}{4} ) $ .

Hence the minimum value of objective function is $ =2\times \frac{5}{4}+10\times \frac{5}{4}=15 $ .
