Detailed Solution


Our problem is to minimise
z=5x+10y.. (i
Subject to constraints
x+2y120 (ii) x+y60 (iii) x2y0 (iv) 
 and x0,y0
Table for line x+2y=120is 

x0120
y600

 Put (0,0) in the inequality x+2y120,we get 
0+2(0)1200120 (which is true) 
So, the half plane is towards the origin. Secondly, draw the graph of the line x+y=60
 

x060
y600

On putting (5,0) in the inequality x-2 y 0, we get
52(0)050 (which is true
 Thus, the half plane is towards the X-axis. Since, x,y0
 The feasible region lies in the first quadrant.
Question Image
Clearly, feasible region is ABCDA.
On solving equations x-2y=0 and x+y=60,
we get D(40,20) and on solving equations
x2y=0 and x+2y=120, we get C(60,30) The corner points of the feasible region are A(60,0), B(120,0), C(60,30) and D(40,20). The values of Z at these points are as follows.

Corner pointz=5x+10y
A(60,0)300(minimum)
B(120,0)600
C(60,30)600
D(40,20)400

Clearly, the minimum value of Z is 300 at the points (60,0)
