Mathematics Question on Linear Programming Problem

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