TopicLinear Programming
TypeGraphical feasible region identification
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a routine graphical linear programming question requiring students to complete a partially drawn feasible region and identify the optimal vertex. It involves standard D1 techniques (plotting constraints, shading regions, finding intersection points) with no conceptual challenges or novel problem-solving required—purely procedural execution of a well-practiced method.

1 Consider the following LP.
Maximise \(x + y\) subject to \(2 x + y < 44\) \(2 x + 3 y < 60\) \(10 x + 11 y < 244\) Part of a graphical solution is produced below and in your answer book.
