XAT 2020

Consider the four variables A, B, C and D and a function Z of these variables, Z=15A2−3B4+C+0.5DZ = 15A^2 - 3B^4 + C + 0.5D. It is given that A, B, C and D must be non-negative integers and that all of the following relationships must hold:

i) 2A+B≤22A + B \le 2

ii) 4A+2B+C≤124A + 2B + C \le 12

iii) 3A+4B+D≤153A + 4B + D \le 15

If Z needs to be maximised, then what value must D take?
