Answer 1

The only one of the choices which lands in the shaded area is A. 30carrots and 21 cucumbers

Answer 2

A. 30 carrots and 21 cucumbers

Explanation:

In the given graph,

The feasible region shows the possible order pairs (x, y) in which x represents the number of carrot and y represents the number of cucumbers,

Since, (30, 21) lies in the feasible region,

⇒ The possible carrots and cucumbers are 30 and 21 respectively,

⇒ OPTION A is correct.

(30, 25), (25, 20) and (25, 20) do not lie in the feasible region,

⇒ Options B, C and D can not be the combination of carrots and cucumbers can the person use.
