Solution

To determine the feasible region's corner points, we need to solve the system of inequalities:

10x+16y600010x + 16y \geq 6000 10x+8y360010x + 8y \leq 3600 x,y0x, y \geq 0

Step 1: Find the x- and y- intercepts for each constraint

First constraint: 10x+16y=600010x + 16y = 6000

  • x-intercept: Set y=0y = 0 10x=6000x=60010x = 6000 \Rightarrow x = 600 Point: (600,0)(600, 0)

  • y-intercept: Set x=0x = 0 16y=6000y=37516y = 6000 \Rightarrow y = 375 Point: (0,375)(0, 375)

Second constraint: 10x+8y=360010x + 8y = 3600

  • x-intercept: Set y=0y = 0 10x=3600x=36010x = 3600 \Rightarrow x = 360 Point: (360,0)(360, 0)

  • y-intercept: Set x=0x = 0 8y=3600y=4508y = 3600 \Rightarrow y = 450 Point: (0,450)(0, 450)

Step 2: Solve for the Intersection of the Two Lines

Solve the system: 10x+16y=600010x + 16y = 6000 10x+8y=360010x + 8y = 3600

Subtract the second equation from the first: (10x+16y)(10x+8y)=60003600(10x + 16y) - (10x + 8y) = 6000 - 3600

8y=24008y = 2400

y=300y = 300

Substituting y=300y = 300 into 10x+8(300)=360010x + 8(300) = 3600:

10x+2400=360010x + 2400 = 3600

10x=1200x=12010x = 1200 \Rightarrow x = 120

Point: (120,300)(120, 300)

Step 3: Identify Feasible Region and Corner Points

The feasible region is bounded by:

  • (0,450)(0, 450)
  • (0,375)(0, 375)
  • (120,300)(120, 300)

Thus, the correct answer is:

(c) (0,450),(0,375),(120,300)(0, 450), (0, 375), (120, 300)
