Corner points of the feasible region for...

Corner points of the feasible region for an LPP are (0,2)(3,0),(6,0),(6,8) and (0,5). Let F=4x+6y be the objective function. The minimum value of F occurs at:

A

(0,2) only

B

(3,0) only

C

The mid-point of the line segment joining the points (0,2) and (3,0) only

D

Any point on the line segment joining the points (0,2) and (3,0)

The correct Answer is:
To find the minimum value of the objective function \( F = 4x + 6y \) at the given corner points of the feasible region, we will evaluate the function at each of the corner points: \( (0, 2) \), \( (3, 0) \), \( (6, 0) \), \( (6, 8) \), and \( (0, 5) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate \( F \) at \( (0, 2) \)**: \[ F(0, 2) = 4(0) + 6(2) = 0 + 12 = 12 \] 2. **Evaluate \( F \) at \( (3, 0) \)**: \[ F(3, 0) = 4(3) + 6(0) = 12 + 0 = 12 \] 3. **Evaluate \( F \) at \( (6, 0) \)**: \[ F(6, 0) = 4(6) + 6(0) = 24 + 0 = 24 \] 4. **Evaluate \( F \) at \( (6, 8) \)**: \[ F(6, 8) = 4(6) + 6(8) = 24 + 48 = 72 \] 5. **Evaluate \( F \) at \( (0, 5) \)**: \[ F(0, 5) = 4(0) + 6(5) = 0 + 30 = 30 \] 6. **Compare the values**: - \( F(0, 2) = 12 \) - \( F(3, 0) = 12 \) - \( F(6, 0) = 24 \) - \( F(6, 8) = 72 \) - \( F(0, 5) = 30 \) The minimum value of \( F \) occurs at the points \( (0, 2) \) and \( (3, 0) \), both yielding a value of \( 12 \). ### Conclusion: The minimum value of \( F \) occurs at the corner points \( (0, 2) \) and \( (3, 0) \). ---
