16. (D) Since the inequality Z = 18 x + 10 y  134 has no point in common with the feasible region hence

the minimum value of the objective function Z = 18 x + 10 y is 134 at P ( 3,8 ) .

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:

Value of the objective function

Corner point Z = x + 2y

1
A( 6, 0) 6

B ( 0, 3) 6

We observe the region x + 2 y  6 have no points in common with the unbounded feasible region. Hence 1
the minimum value of z = 6 .
It can be seen that the value of Z at points A and B is same. If we take any other point on the line
x + 2 y = 6 such as (2,2) on line x + 2 y = 6, then Z = 6 .
Thus, the minimum value of Z occurs for more than 2 points, and is equal to 6.
