Question 11

x1 = 0.67, x2 = 4 , and z = 365.6

the coefficient of x2 cannot be increased by 28 as it violates the range.

x1 = 4, x2 = 0.67, and z = 372.26

none of the above

Explanation / Answer

If we see from output, the allowable increase for x2 is 190. So, till we increase x2 by 190 the optimal solution wont change.

Here, 28 lies in the range and thus optimal solution wont change.

Thus,

x1 = 4, x2 = 0.67,

Now Z = 80x1 + 50x2

becomes Z = 80x1 + 78x2

So, 80 *4 + 78 * 0.67 = 372.26

C option.

x1 = 4, x2 = 0.67,

Now Z = 80x1 + 50x2
