Solution:

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Class 12 Mathematics Chapter 12 - 4

It is given that: \mathrm{Z}=13 \mathrm{x}-15 \mathrm{y} and the constraints \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y} \leq 7, 2 x-3 y+6 \geq 0, x \geq 0, y \geq 0 Taking x+y=7, we have

    \[\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|} \hline$x$ & 4 & 3 \\ \hline $\mathrm{v}$ & 3 & 4 \\ \hline \end{tabular}\]

And, taking 2 x-3 y+6=0 we have

    \[\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|} \hline$x$ & 1 & $-3$ \\ \hline$y$ & 2 & 0 \\ \hline \end{tabular}\]

Now, plotting all the constrain equations it can be seen that the shaded area \mathrm{OABC} is the feasible region determined by the constraints.

The feasible reqion is bounded with four corners \mathrm{O}(0,0), \mathrm{A}(7,0), \mathrm{B}(3,4) and \mathrm{C}(0,2)

Therefore, the maximum value can occur at any corner.

On evaluating the value of \mathrm{Z}, we obtain

    \[\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Corner points & Value of $\mathrm{Z}$ \\ \hline $\mathrm{O}(0,0)$ & $13(0)-15(0)=0$ \\ \hline $\mathrm{A}(7,0)$ & $13(7)-15(0)=91$ \\ \hline $\mathrm{B}(3,4)$ & $13(3)-15(4)=-21$ \\ \hline $\mathrm{C}(0,2)$ & $13(0)-15(2)=-30$ \\ \hline \end{tabular}\]

It can be seen from the above table it’s seen that the minimum value of \mathrm{Z} is -30. Therefore, the minimum value of the function \mathrm{Z} is -30 at (0,2).
