Answer:

20 minutes should spend on walking and 30 minutes on running.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the minutes spent on walking and y represents the minutes spent on running,

∵ He burns 4 cal/min walking and 10 cal/min running,

So, the total calories burnt,

Z = 4x + 10y

Which has to be maximised.

Now, he walks between 10 and 20 min each day,

i.e. 10 < x < 20,

Also, he runs between 30 and 45 min each day,

i.e. 30 <  y < 45,

By graphing 10 < x < 20 and 30 <  y < 45,

We obtained the vertices of feasible region,

(10, 45), (20, 45), (10, 30) and (20, 30)

At (10, 45),

Z = 4(10) + 10(45) = 40 + 450 = 490,

At (20, 45),

Z = 4(20) + 10(45) = 80 + 450 = 530,

At (10, 30),

Z = 4(10) + 10(30) = 40 + 300 = 340,

At (20, 30)

Z = 4(20) + 10(30) = 80 + 300 = 380

Hence, maximum calories is 530 when 20 minutes spent on walking and 30 minutes spent on running.
