The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear constraints are (0, 0), (0, 40), (20, 40), (60, 20), (60, 0). The objective function is Z = 4x + 3y. Compare the quantity in column A and column B.
Column AColumn BMaximum of Z325
(a) The qunatity in column A is greater
(b) The qunatity in column b is greater
(c) The two quantities are equal
(d) The relationship cannot be determined on the basis of the information supplied.

Hence, maximum value of Z =300 < 325
So, the quantity in column B is greater.
