Official Solution
Correct Option: (3)
The given linear programming problem involves finding the condition on α and β such that the maximum value of the objective function occurs at the corner points (5, 5) and (0, 20) of the feasible region. To solve this, we analyze the given corner points of the feasible region: (0,10), (5,5), (5,15), and (0,30).
First, compare the Z values at the corner points (5,5) and (0,20):
For (5,5):
For (0,20):
Now, equate and since Z maximum occurs at both these points:
5α+5β=20β
Rearranging gives:
5α=15β
Simplifying:
α=3β
Therefore, the condition on α and β is α = 3β.

A person wants to invest 75,000 in options A and B, which yield returns of 8% and 9% respectively. He plans to invest at least 15,000 in Plan A, 25,000 in Plan B, and keep Plan A ≤ Plan B. Formulate the LPP to maximize the return.
To maximize the return on investment for options A and B, we need to formulate a Linear Programming Problem (LPP) based on the given conditions. Let's define:
x: Amount invested in option A
y: Amount invested in option B
We aim to maximize the total returns Z, which is represented by the objective function:
Z=0.08x+0.09y
Subject to the constraints:
x≥15000 (Minimum investment in plan A)
y≥25000 (Minimum investment in plan B)
x+y≤75000 (Total investment limit)
x≤y (Plan A investment must not exceed plan B)
x,y≥0(Non-negativity condition)
Considering all the conditions, the correct LPP formulation is:

We calculate the determinant of this matrix. The determinant, Δ, is calculated as follows for a 3x3 matrix [A]: Δ = a(ei − fh) − b(di − fg) + c(dh − eg) Applying this to our matrix, we calculate: Δ = 1((1)(k) - (-1)(2)) - 1((2)(k) - (-1)(3)) + 1((2)(2) - (1)(3)) Δ = (1)(k + 2) - (1)(2k + 3) + (1)(4 - 3) Δ = k + 2 - 2k - 3 + 1 Δ = k + 2 - 2k - 3 + 1 Δ = -k For the system to have a unique solution, we need the determinant to be non-zero: -k ≠ 0 This implies k ≠ 0. Thus, the correct answer is: k ≠ 0.

This is a minimization problem in Linear Programming. The optimal solution (minimum value) for a bounded feasible region occurs at one of the corner points. For an unbounded region, we must evaluate Z at the corner points and then verify if an even smaller value is possible within the region. Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
1. Identify the feasible region defined by the constraints.
2. Find the coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region.
3. Evaluate the objective function Z at each corner point.
4. The point that gives the minimum value is the optimal solution. If the minimum value occurs at more than one corner point, all points on the line segment connecting them are optimal solutions. Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
The LPP is:
Minimize Z = x + 2y
Subject to:
1)
2)
3) First, we find the corner points of the feasible region. The corner points are the intersections of the boundary lines. Point A (Intersection with y-axis):
Let x = 0. The constraints become and . The intersection is at (0, 3). Point B (Intersection with x-axis):
Let y = 0. The constraints become and . The intersection is at (6, 0). Point C (Intersection of the lines 2x + y = 3 and x + 2y = 6):
From , we get . Substitute this into the second equation:
.
If , then . The intersection is (0, 3), which is Point A. So, the corner points of the unbounded feasible region are (0, 3) and (6, 0).
Now, evaluate the objective function Z = x + 2y at these corner points.
At point (0, 3): . At point (6, 0): .
The minimum value of Z at the corner points is 6. This value occurs at two different points, (0, 3) and (6, 0).
Since the feasible region is unbounded, we must check if Z can attain a value less than 6. We check the region . This half-plane has no points in common with the feasible region, as one of the constraints is . Therefore, the minimum value is indeed 6. Step 4: Final Answer:
The minimum value of Z is 6, and it occurs at both corner points (0, 3) and (6, 0). Thus, the optimal feasible solution occurs at both (6, 0) and (0, 3).

This is a minimization problem in Linear Programming. The optimal solution (minimum value) for a bounded feasible region occurs at one of the corner points.

3. Evaluate the objective function Z at each corner point.
4. The point that gives the minimum value is the optimal solution. If the minimum value occurs at more than one corner point, all points on the line segment connecting them are optimal solutions. Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
The LPP is:
Minimize Z = x + 2y
Subject to:

3) First, we find the corner points of the feasible region. The corner points are the intersections of the boundary lines. Point A (Intersection with y-axis):

Let y = 0. The constraints become and . The intersection is at (6, 0). Point C (Intersection of the lines 2x + y = 3 and x + 2y = 6):
From , we get . Substitute this into the second equation:
.
If , then . The intersection is (0, 3), which is Point A. So, the corner points of the unbounded feasible region are (0, 3) and (6, 0).
Now, evaluate the objective function Z = x + 2y at these corner points.
At point (0, 3): . At point (6, 0): .
The minimum value of Z at the corner points is 6. This value occurs at two different points, (0, 3) and (6, 0).
Since the feasible region is unbounded, we must check if Z can attain a value less than 6. We check the region . This half-plane has no points in common with the feasible region, as one of the constraints is . Therefore, the minimum value is indeed 6. Step 4: Final Answer:
The minimum value of Z is 6, and it occurs at both corner points (0, 3) and (6, 0). Thus, the optimal feasible solution occurs at both (6, 0) and (0, 3).

This question asks about the fundamental assumptions and requirements that define a Linear Programming Problem (LPP). An LPP is a mathematical technique for optimizing (maximizing or minimizing) a linear objective function, subject to a set of linear constraints. Step 2: Detailed Explanation: Let's review the options based on the definition of an LPP:
1. All the elements of an LPP should be quantifiable. This is a basic requirement. The objective function and constraints must be expressed in terms of numerical values (coefficients, constants). This is the "linearity" and "programmable" aspect. So, this is a requirement. 2. All decision variables should assume non-negative values. This is the non-negativity constraint ( ), a standard requirement in most LPPs, ensuring that the variables represent real-world quantities like production units, which cannot be negative. So, this is a requirement. 3. There are a finite number of decision variables and a finite number of constraints. This is the finiteness requirement. The problem must be bounded in scope with a specific number of variables to solve for and a specific number of conditions to meet. So, this is a requirement. 4. It deals with optimizing number of objectives more than one. This is not a requirement. A standard LPP is defined by having a single objective function to optimize. Problems that involve optimizing multiple objectives simultaneously are known as multi-objective optimization problems, which is a different field from standard linear programming.

We do this by finding the equation of each boundary line and then determining the direction of the inequality (e.g., or ) by testing a point within the shaded region, like the origin (0,0) if it's not on the line. Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
First, let's identify the boundary lines from the graph.
Line passing through (15, 0) and (0, 15): The equation is , which simplifies to . The shaded region is above this line (away from the origin). Testing the point (15, 20) which is in the region: . So the inequality is . Line passing through (30, 0) and (0, 30): The equation is , which simplifies to . The shaded region is below this line (towards the origin). Testing the origin (0,0): . So the inequality is . Vertical line passing through x = 15: The equation is . The shaded region is to the left of this line. So the inequality is . Horizontal line passing through y = 20: The equation is . The shaded region is below this line. So the inequality is . Non-negativity constraints: The shaded region is in the first quadrant, which means and .
Combining all these inequalities, we get the set of constraints:
This set matches the constraints given in option (1). Step 4: Final Answer:
