The correct answer is: 72
We have, z = 6x +8y
Subject to constraints x-y0,x+3y12,x0,y0 .
On taking given constraints as equations, we get the following graph

Intersecting point of the line x-y=0 and x+3y=12 is B (3, 3).
Here, OABO is the required feasible region
Whose corner points are O (0, 0), A (12, 0) and B (0, 4) Now,
Corner points Z=6x+8y
O (0, 0) 6×0+8×0=0
A (12, 0) 6×12+8×0=72
(maximum)
B (3, 3) 6×3+8×3=42
Maximum value of Z is 72.
