here in the question only A and C are give as "A,C\\ge0" . But the B is amount of time spent on fun and time also cannot be negative and it should be "B\\ge 0."


This problem is converted to solve using simplex(Big-M) method and it is follows.

"maximize \\ 24-A-B+0S_1+0S_2-Ma"

"subject\\ to,\\\\\nA+B+C+S_1\\hspace{4 em}=24\\\\\nB+C\\hspace{4 em}-S_2+a\\ =8\\\\\nA,B,C\\ge0"


iteration-1



a goes out from the basis and C comes in.

iteration-2

"since\\ Z-C_j\\ge 0"  optimum solution is occurred.

maximum is occurred when,

A=0,B=0,C=8 and Maximum is 24
