Linear Programming

Question:

Which of the following is NOT a basic requirement of the linear programming problem (LPP)?

Options:

All the elements of an LPP should be quantifiable.

All decision variables should assume non-negative values.

There are a finite number of decision variables and a finite number of constraints.

It deals with optimizing number of objectives more than one.

Correct Answer:

It deals with optimizing number of objectives more than one.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → It deals with optimizing number of objectives more than one.

The first three statements are basic requirements of an LPP.

LPP involves:

• Quantifiable elements

• Non-negative decision variables

• A finite number of variables and constraints

Optimizing more than one objective is NOT a requirement of LPP; classical LPP optimizes only one objective function.

Final answer: It deals with optimizing number of objectives more than one.
