Solve the following Linear Programming problem graphically:
Maximize
subject to



Answer: Max Z = 3600, attained at every point on the segment joining (4, 4) and (0, 6) (multiple optimal solutions)

Solution

Boundary lines: , and (i.e. ).
The feasible region is bounded with corner points:
, , , , ,
where is the intersection of and .
Note that .
Evaluate :
:
:
: ← maximum
: ← maximum
:
Since attains the same value 3600 at the two adjacent corner points and , the maximum occurs at every point on the segment (which lies on ) — the LPP has infinitely many optimal solutions.
Structure Bounded feasible region with corner points A(5, 0), B(6, 0), C(4, 4), D(0, 6) and E(0, 4).
Bounded feasible region with corner points A(5, 0), B(6, 0), C(4, 4), D(0, 6) and E(0, 4).
