29 The feasible region determined by the constraints,2x + y ≥ 3, x + 2y ≥ 6, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 is as

shown below.

The corner points of the unbounded feasible region are A(6,0) and B(0,3 ). The values of
Z at these corner points are as follows:
½
Corner point Value of the objective function Z = x + 2y
A(6,0) 6
B(0,3) 6 ½
We observe the region x + 2y < 6 have no points in common with the unbounded feasible
½
region. Hence the minimum value of z is 6.
½
It can be seen that the value of Z at points A and B is same.
Thus, the minimum value of Z occurs for more than 2 points,and is equal to 6
