I am trying to solve 2D optmisation problem in which my variable ranges from x(1,1) to x(4,4) and this variable should be either 0 or 1. When I am solving an equation for example 1.2x(1,1)+5.3x(2,3) I am always getting a zero for this solution if I bound my variable by ub 1 and lb 0. Can anyone tell me what is the way to get the optimal solution?

No I have to minimise it but the coefficients given to be are like this whereas the variables are in binary form only

Because it would be the smallest possible value you can get? If you let me rewrite this as:
f = 1.2*y+5.3*z
...and we then constrain y and z to be between 0 and 1 the smallest possible value of f will be for y and z equal to zero. For this type of problem pen (pencil) and paper and a think about the meaning of is more useful than matlab.
