This document uses a graphical method to solve a linear programming problem to maximize an objective function Z = 6x1 + 5x2, subject to the constraints x1 + x2 ≤ 5, 3x1 + 2x2 ≤ 12, x1, x2 ≥ 0. It identifies the extreme points as (0,0), (4,0), (2,3), and (0,5) and calculates the objective function value at each point. The maximum value of 27 occurs at the point (2,3), so the optimal solution is x1 = 2, x2 = 3, with the maximum value of Z being 27.

Find solution using graphical method

Problem is 
MAX Z = x 6 x1 + 5 x2

subject to
x1 + x2 ≤5
3 x1 + 2 x2 ≤ 12
and x 1, x2 ≥ 0;

The value of the objective function at each of these extreme points is as follows: 
Extreme Point
Coordinates Lines through Extreme Point Objective function value
Z = 6x + 5x
(x ,x ) 1 2
1 2

3 → x1 ≥ 0
O(0, 0) 6(0) + 5(0) = 0
4 → x2 ≥ 0

2 → 3x1 + 2x2 ≤ 12
A(4, 0) 6(4) + 5(0) = 24
4 → x2 ≥ 0

1 → x1 + x2 ≤ 5
B(2, 3) 6(2) + 5(3) = 27
2 → 3x1 + 2x2 ≤ 12

1 → x1 + x2 ≤ 5
C (0, 5) 6(0) + 5(5) = 25
3 → x1 ≥ 0

The maximum value of the objective function Z = 27  occurs at the extreme point (2, 3).

Hence, the optimal solution to the given LP problem is : x 1 = 2, x2 = 3  and max Z = 27 .
