B.

Minimize:6y1+8y2+9y3subject to:y10,y20,y30,y1+2y2+y33,y1+y2+2y31 Minimize: 6y_1 + 8y_2 + 9y_3 \\ subject \ to : y_1 \geq 0, y_2 \geq 0, y_3 \geq 0, y_1 + 2y_2 + y_3 \geq 3 , y_1 + y_2 + 2y_3 \geq 1 ​​

C.

6y1+8y2+9y3subject toy10,y20,y30,y1+2y2+y31,y1+y2+2y33 6y_1 + 8y_2 + 9y_3 \\ \text{subject to}\\ y_1 \geq 0, y_2 \geq 0, y_3 \geq 0, y_1 + 2y_2 + y_3 \leq 1 , y_1 + y_2 + 2y_3 \leq 3​​

D.

9y1+8y2+6y3subject toy10,y20,y30,y1+2y2+y31,y1+y2+2y339y_1 + 8y_2 + 6y_3 \\ \text{subject to}\\ y_1 \geq 0, y_2 \geq 0, y_3 \geq 0, y_1 + 2y_2 + y_3 \geq 1 , y_1 + y_2 + 2y_3 \geq 3​​

Correct option is A

The primal problem is:Maximize: x1+3x2Subject to:x1+x26,2x1+x28,x1+2x29x10 and x20So, the dual problem will be:Minimize:W=6y1+8y2+9y3Subject to:y1+2y2+2y31,y1+y2+2y33y1,y2,y30Option (A) is correct.\text{The primal problem is:} \\[10pt]\text{Maximize: } x_1 + 3x_2 \\[10pt]\text{Subject to:} \\[10pt]x_1 + x_2 \leq 6, \quad 2x_1 + x_2 \leq 8, \quad x_1 + 2x_2 \leq 9 \\[10pt]x_1 \geq 0 \text{ and } x_2 \geq 0 \\[10pt]\text{So, the dual problem will be:} \\[10pt]\text{Minimize:} \\[10pt]W = 6y_1 + 8y_2 + 9y_3 \\[10pt]\text{Subject to:} \\[10pt]y_1 + 2y_2 + 2y_3 \geq 1, \quad y_1 + y_2 + 2y_3 \geq 3 \\[10pt]y_1, y_2, y_3 \geq 0 \\[10pt]\textbf{Option (A) is correct.}​​
