Q85 / 125 · BITSAT 2018 · Mathematics

The coordinates of the point at which minimum value of Z=7x-8y subject to constraints x+y-20≤0, y≥5, x≥0, y≥0 is attained, is

  • A
    20,0
  • B
    15,5
  • C
    0,5
  • Correct answer
    D
    0,20

Solution

Feasible region is ABCA and Z=7x-8y

Figure

At A0,5, Z=7×0-8×5=-40

At B15,5, Z=715-85=65

At C0,20, Z=70-820=-160

Hence, the minimum value of Z is attained at point 0,20

So, option d is correct.

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