Mathematics Question on linear inequalities

Consider x2+y41\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{4} \ge1 and x3+y21,x,y0\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{2} \le 1 , x ,y \ge0 . Then number of possible solutions are :

A

Zero

B

Unique

C

Infinite

D

None of these

Answer

Infinite

Explanation

Solution

Consider x2+y41,x3+y21,x,y0\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{4} \ge1 , \frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{2} \le1 , x, y \ge 0 convert them into equation and solve
them and draw the graph of these equations we get y=1y = 1 and x=3/2x = 3/2
From graph region is finite but numbers of possible solutions are infinite because for different values of xx and yy we have different or infinite no. of solutions.
