Maximise Z = 3x + 4y Subject to the constraints:

Solution:

The feasible region determined by the constraints, x + y ≤ 4, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, is given below

NCERT Solutions Mathematics Class 12 Chapter 12 - 2

O (0, 0), A (4, 0), and B (0, 4) are the corner points of the feasible region. The values of Z at these points are given below

Corner pointZ = 3x + 4y
O (0, 0)0
A (4, 0)12
B (0, 4)16Maximum

Hence, the maximum value of Z is 16 at the point B (0, 4)
