JEE Main 2021 (Online) 17th March Morning Shift Mathematics - Straight Lines and Pair of Straight Lines Question 79 English Explanation
3x + 4y ≤\le 100

4x + 3y ≤\le 75

x ≥\ge 0, y ≥\ge 0

Feasible region is shown in the graph

Let maximum value of 6xy + y2 = c

For a solution with feasible region,

6xy + y2 = c and 4x + 3y = 75 must have at least one positive solution.

y2+6y(75−3y4)−c=0{y^2} + 6y\left( {{{75 - 3y} \over 4}} \right) - c = 0

⇒72y2−2252y+c=0\Rightarrow {7 \over 2}{y^2} - {{225} \over 2}y + c = 0

⇒(2252)2≥4.72.c\Rightarrow {\left( {{{225} \over 2}} \right)^2} \ge 4.{7 \over 2}.c

⇒c≤225256≈904\Rightarrow c \le {{{{225}^2}} \over {56}} \approx 904
