Solution
The correct option is B(6,0) We check the value of the z at each of the corner points.
At A(0,5)−
z=−50x+20y=−50(0)+20(5)=100
At B(0,3)−
z=−50x+20y=−50(0)+20(3)=60
At C(1,0)−
z=−50x+20y=−50(1)+20(0)=−50
At D(6,0)−
z=−50x+20y=−50(6)+20(0)=−300
Hence, we see that z is minimum at D(6,0) and minimum value is −300.
