Question

As per one of the assumptions of linear programming problem in operation research, objective function and constraints are assumed to be _____________

• A. sinusoidal
• B. exponential
• C. linear
• D. circular

Answer 1

Answer:

C. linear

Linear programming is a mathematical technique that assumes the constraints and objective function to be linear. Decision variables can have fractional values. The model implies that the responses to the variables' values are exactly equivalent to the coefficients' responses. Creating a linear programme requires the availability of data to specify the problem. The linear term is used for variables and can be represented in the form of a straight line. Objective Function: It is the main function; clearly identifiable and measurable in quantity. Constraints: These are limited resources within which we have to obtain the objective.
