    The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are\[\left( \mathbf{0},\mathbf{10} \right),\left( \mathbf{5},\mathbf{5} \right),\left( \mathbf{15},\mathbf{15} \right),\left( \mathbf{0},\mathbf{20} \right)\]. Let\[\mathbf{Z}=\mathbf{px}+\mathbf{qy}\], where\[\mathbf{p},\mathbf{q}>\mathbf{0}\]. Condition on p and q so that the maximum of Z occur sat both the points \[\left( \mathbf{15},\mathbf{15} \right)\] and (0, 20) is

    A) \[p=q\]            

    B) \[p=2q\]        

    C) \[q=2p\]                       

    D) \[q=3p\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Since Z occurs maximum at \[\left( 15,15 \right)\] and\[\left( 0,20 \right)\], therefore, \[15p+15q=0.p+20q\Rightarrow q=3p\]. Hence, option [d] is correct.
