Question 1 |
Two business owners Shveta and Ashok run their businesses in two different states. Each
of them, independent of the other, produces two products A and B, sells them at Rs.
2,000 per kg and Rs, 3,000 per kg, respectively, and uses Linear Programming to
determine the optimal quantity of A and B to maximize their respective daily revenue.
Their constraints are as follows: i) for each business owner, the production process is
such that the daily production of A has to be at least as much as B, and the upper
limit for production of B is 10 kg per day, and ii) the respective state regulations restrict
Shveta?s production of A to less than 20 kg per day and Ashok's production of A to
less than 15 kg per day. The demand of both A and B in both the states is very high
and everything produced is sold.

only the corner points of the feasible region | |
intermediate points within the infeasible region | |
only the interior points in the feasible region. |
Question 9 Explanation:
Simplex method provides an algorithm which consists in moving from one point of the region of feasible solutions to another in such a manner that the value of the objective function at the succeeding point is less (or more, as the case may be) than at the preceding point. This procedure of jumping from one point to another is then repeated. Since the number of points is finite, the method leads to an optimal point in a finite number of steps.
Therefore simplex method only uses the interior points in the feasible region.
