Consider the objective function $Z=40 x+50 y$. The minimum number of constraints that are required to maximize $\mathrm{Z}$ are,

  • A
    4
  • B
    2
  • Correct answer
    C
    3
  • D
    1

Solution

Two constraints are $x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ and the third one will be of the type $a x+b y \leq c$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
