Maximize subject to the following constraints: and the solution is in the first quadrant (). What can be said about the solution of this LPP?
- AUnbounded solution
- BUnique solution
- CNo solution
- DNone of these
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the feasible region: represents the area above or on the line passing through and . represents the area above or on the line passing through and . restricts the region to the first quadrant.The intersection of these half-planes forms a region that extends infinitely in the positive and directions. Since we are maximizing and the region is not enclosed (unbounded) in the direction of increasing and , the objective function can increase indefinitely.Therefore, the LPP has an unbounded solution.
