The ordered pair maximizes the objective function p = 3x + 8y will be (5, 6) .Option C is correct.

<h3>What is the objective function?</h3>

The objective function is simply an equation that represents the goal production capability that relates to maximizing profits in relation to manufacturing.

On putting the values we will get the values one by one. We get;

1. (0, 0)

$3 (0)+8(0) = 0$

2. (2,7)

$3(2)+8(7)=62$

3. (5,6)

$3(5)+8(6)=63$

4. (8,1)

$3(8)+8(1)=42$

The maximum value obtained from the 63. Obtained from option C. The ordered pair maximizes the objective function p = 3x + 8y will be (5, 6)

Hence option C is correct.

Using the permutation formula, it is found that there are 17,297,280 different signals consisting of 8 flags.

In this problem, the order in which the flags are visited is important, hence the <em>permutation formula</em> is used to solve this question.
