Which of the following is NOT a basic requirement of the linear programming problem (LPP)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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.
