Question: What is the maximum value of the objective function C = 6x + 5y subject to the constraints x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, x + y ≤ 4?


A ) 44
B ) 22
C ) 29
D ) 24

Steps to derive

1 Objective function is C = 6x + 5y

2 Constraints are x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, x + y ≤ 4.

3 The feasible region determined by the given constraints is shown in the graph.
 [Draw the constraints.]


4 From the graph, the three vertices are (0, 0), (4, 0) and (0, 4).

5 To evaluate the minimum or maximum values of C, we evaluate C = 6x + 5y at each of the three vertices.

6 At (0, 0) , C = 6(0) + 5(0) = 0
 [Substitute the values.]

7 At (4, 0) , C = 6(4) + 5(0) = 24
 [Substitute the values.]

8 At (0, 4) , C = 6(0) + 5(4) = 20
 [Substitute the values.]

9 So, the maximum value of the objective function, C is 24.



Hence the right answer is Option D
