Which of the following terms are associated with a linear programming problem?
(A) Constraints
(B) Independent events
(C) Feasible region
(D) Objective function
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (C) and (D) only
A linear programming problem asks for the maximum or minimum of a linear objective function subject to linear constraints. The points that satisfy all the constraints form the feasible region.
So constraints, feasible region and objective function are LPP terms; independent events are not.
Checking the statements
(A) Constraints — Correct. The linear inequalities that restrict x and y.
(B) Independent events — Incorrect. A term of probability, not of LPP.
(C) Feasible region — Correct. The set of points satisfying all the constraints.
(D) Objective function — Correct. The linear function to be maximised or minimised.
