Cost function $\mathrm{Z}$ given by $\mathrm{Z}=4 \mathrm{x}+6 \mathrm{y}$ is to be minimized. The fessible region for this function $\mathrm{Z}$ is the shaded region represented in the following figure. Then the minimum value of $\mathrm{Z}$ is and occurs at the point )
  1. $260,(20,30)$
  2. $240,(0,40)$
  3. $100,(25,0)$
  4. $254,(14,33)$

Solution

Here corner points are $(80,0),(0,80)$ and $(14,33)$ $\mathrm{Z}$ is minimum at $(14,33)$ and $\mathrm{Z}_{\min }=4 \times 14+6 \times 33=254$
