    In solving the LPP : minimise \[f=6x+10y\] subject to contraints \[x\ge 6,\text{ }y\ge 2,\text{ }2x+y\ge 10,\text{ }x\ge 10,\,\,y\ge 0\] reducdant constraints are

    A) \[x\ge 6,y\ge 2\]

    B) \[2x+y\ge 10,\,x\ge 0,\,\,y\ge 0\]

    C) \[x\ge 6\]

    D) None of these.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When \[x\ge 6\]and \[y\ge 2\], then \[2x+y\ge 2\times 6+2,\] i.e., \[2x+y\ge 14\] Hence, \[x\ge 0,\,y\ge 0\] and \[2x+y\ge 14\] are automatically satisfied by every point of the region. \[\left\{ \left( x,y \right):\,x\ge 6 \right\}\cap \left\{ \left( x,y \right):\,y\,\ge 2 \right\}\]
