A feasible solution (ABCD) where objective function is at its maximum point is known as optimal solution. At this point, no other feasible and better solution exists. This point exists either at the top or at bottom as per the requirement of objective function and its constraints.

Therefore, the optimal solution is point C (4,0)

Calculation of Z at (4,0)

Z=10(4)+6(0)=40+0=40
