Class 12 Maths · Linear Programming · Long Answer #59

Z=ax+by has the same optimal value at distinct feasible points (2,3),(5,7). Derive a relation between a,b.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 3a+4b=0.
  1. Equal optimal values imply Z(2,3)=Z(5,7).
  2. Thus 2a+3b=5a+7b.
  3. Rearrange: 3a+4b=0. This necessary relation alone does not establish optimality on an unspecified region.
  4. The required relation is 3a+4b=0.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Equal optimal values imply Z(2,3)=Z(5,7).
  • [1 mark] Thus 2a+3b=5a+7b.
  • [1 mark] Rearrange: 3a+4b=0. This necessary relation alone does not establish optimality on an unspecified region.
  • [0.5 marks] The required relation is 3a+4b=0.
