Question 15 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2025 • GOVERNMENT • objective

A local authority has £1,200,000 to allocate among three public projects X, Y and Z. The amount allocated to each project is expressed in £100,000 units \(x, y, z\) (non‑negative integers) with \(x+y+z = 12\). Their effectiveness functions are: \[E_X = 10\sqrt{x},\quad E_Y = 8\ln(y+1),\quad E_Z = 6\sqrt[3]{z}.\] Determine the allocation \((x, y, z)\) that maximises the total effectiveness \(E = E_X + E_Y + E_Z\) and give the maximum total effectiveness value (rounded to two decimal places).

Answer Options

A. x=8, y=2, z=2; total effectiveness 44.85
B. x=9, y=2, z=1; total effectiveness 45.10
