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.
