A Linear Programming Problem (LPP) consists of which of the following components?
(A) Decision variables
(B) The graphical compliment
(C) The objective function
(D) The linear constraints
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A), (C) and (D) only
Every linear programming problem has three components: the decision variables, a linear objective function to be maximised or minimised, and the linear constraints (including the non-negativity restrictions).
Checking the statements
(A) Decision variables — Correct. The unknowns whose values are to be chosen.
(B) The graphical compliment — Incorrect. This is not a part of an LPP; a graph is only one way of solving it.
(C) The objective function — Correct. The linear function to be optimised.
(D) The linear constraints — Correct. The restrictions on the decision variables.
