Maximize the function

   

, subject to the constraints:

   

.

According to the question:

   

and the constraints 

   

.

Plotting all the constrain equations we see that the shaded area OABC is the feasible region determined by the constraints.

The feasible region is bounded with four corner points

   

.

So, the maximum value can occur at any corner.

On evaluating the value of Z, we get

From the above table it’s seen that the maximum value of Z is

   

.

Therefore, the maximum value of the function Z is

   

at

   

.
