Solution

The correct option is C more than two points
The feasible region under the given constraints is


The coordinates of corner points and values of Z are
Corner points Z=x+2y
(0,3) 6
(6,0) 6

From the above table minimum value of Z=6
Now, compare the constraints and objective function.
We observe that the slope of the constraint (x+2y6) and objective function is same, so Z will be minimum at all the points which lie on the constraint line (x+2y=6) between the points (0,3) and (6,0).
