Which of the following is NOT a basic requirement of the linear programming problem (LPP)? |
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. |
It deals with optimizing number of objectives more than one. |
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. |
