Detailed Solution

Our problem is to minimise and maximise
Z=x+2y.....(i)
Subject to constraints,
x+2y100 .......(ii)2xy0 ..........(iii)2x+y200........(iv) and x0,y0 ........(v)
Table for line x+2y=,100 is
 

x0100
y500

So, the half plane is towards Y-axis.
Table for line 2x+y=200 is 
 

x0100
y2000

So, the line 2 x+y=200 is passing through the points (0,200) and (100,0) .
On putting (0,0) in the inequality 2 x+y \leq 200, we get
2×0+0200
0200 (which is true)
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
 Also, x,y0
So, the region lies in the I quadrant.
Question Image
Clearly, feasible region is ABCDA.
On solving equations 2xy=0 and x+2y=100, we get 3(20,40)
Again, solving the equations 2xy=0 and 2x+y=200, we get C(50,100)
So, the line x+2y=100 is passing through the points (0,50) and (100,0).
 On putting (0,0) in the inequality x+2y100, we get 
0+2×01000100 (which is false) 
So, the half plane is away from the origin.
Table for line 2xy=0 is 
 

x010
y020

 So, the line 2xy=0 is passing through the points (0,0) and (10,20)
 On putting (5,0) in the inequality 2xy0, we get 
2×500
100 (which is false) 
The comer points of the feasible region are
A(0,50),B(20,40),C(50,100) and D(0,200)
The values of Z at corner points are given below:
 

Comer pointsz=x+2y
A(0,50)Z=0+2×50=100
B(20,40)Z=20+2×40=100
C(50,100)Z=50+2×100=250
O(0,200)Z=0+2×200=400


The maximum value of Z is 400 at 0(0,200) and the minimum value of Z is 100 at all the points on the line segment joining A(0,50) and B(20,40).
