  4. (D)Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Show answer & solution
Answer: (B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
  1. Corner points of the shaded region: S(40, 20), R(60, 30), Q(120, 0), P(60, 0).
  2. Z = x + 2y: at S = 80, at R = 120, at Q = 120, at P = 60.
  3. Maximum 120 occurs at both R and Q, hence at every point of segment RQ: infinitely many points. Assertion is true.
  4. For a bounded feasible region the optimal value is always attained at a corner point. Reason is true.
  5. But the reason does not explain why the maximum occurs at infinitely many points (that happens because Z is parallel to edge RQ). So (B).
