Question 1(e)

Graphical linear programming

1Question

Use graphical method to solve the linear programming problem. Maximize \(Z=3x_1+2x_2\) subject to \(x_1-x_2\ge1\), \(x_1+x_3\ge3\), and \(x_1,x_2,x_3\ge0\).

Question 1(e): Graphical solution of linear programming problem
2019 UPSC Maths Optional Paper II Solutions diagram for Question 1(e), showing the coordinate axes, constraint lines, feasible region and corner points used in the graphical solution of the linear programming problem.

3Concept Related to the Question

A graphical LPP is solved by plotting the half-planes and checking whether the objective function has a finite maximum on the feasible region.

4Detailed Solution

The constraints are

\[x_1-x_2\ge1,\qquad x_1+x_2\ge3,\qquad x_1,x_2\ge0.\]

The feasible region lies in the first quadrant, above or on the line \(x_1+x_2=3\), and on the side \(x_1-x_2\ge1\). This region is unbounded in the positive \(x_1\)-direction.

Now take points of the form \((x_1,x_2)=(t,0)\). For every \(t\ge3\), all constraints are satisfied. At such points,

\[Z=3t+2\cdot0=3t.\]

As \(t\to\infty\), \(Z\to\infty\). Hence the objective function is not bounded above.

5Final Answer

The feasible region is unbounded and the problem has no finite maximum value.

Question 2(a)

Homomorphism between finite groups of coprime orders

1Question

If \(G\) and \(H\) are finite groups whose orders are relatively prime, then prove that there is only one homomorphism from \(G\) to \(H\), the trivial one.
