Show that the minimum of Z occurs at more than two points.
Maximise Z = x + y, subject to x – y ≤ –1, –x + y ≤ 0, x, y ≥ 0.

Solution
The system of constraints is:
x - y ≤ -1 ....(i)
- x + y ≤ 0 ....(ii)
x, y ≥ 0 ....(iii)
Let l1 : x - y = -1
l2 : -x + y = 0
Clearly, there is no feasible region
[∵ There is no common region]
Hence, there is no maximum value of Z.

To maintain his health a person must fulfil certain minimum daily requirements for several kinds of nutrients. Assuming that there are only three kinds of nutrients-calcium, protein and calories and the person's diet consists of only two food items, I and II, whose price and nutrient contents are shown in the table below:
| Food I (per lb) |
Food II (per lb) |
Minimum daily requirement for the nutrient |
||||
| Calcium | 10 | 5 | 20 | |||
| Protein | 5 | 4 | 20 | |||
