KCET2025MathematicsLinear Programming
Consider the following statements: Statement (I): In a LPP, the objective function is always linear. Statement (II): In a LPP, the linear inequalities on variables are called constraints. Which of the following is correct?
Options
- AStatement (I) is true, Statement (II) is true
- BStatement (I) is true, Statement (II) is false
- CBoth Statements (I) and (II) are false
- DStatement (I) is false, Statement (II) is true
Correct answer
A. Statement (I) is true, Statement (II) is true
Step-by-step solution
Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true in a Linear Programming Problem (LPP): Statement (1): The objective function in an LPP is always linear, meaning it can be expressed as a linear equation with the variables raised to the power of one. Statement (II): The linear inequalities that restrict the variables in an LPP are called constraints. Explanation: In a linear programming problem, you are trying to optimize (maximize or minimize) an objective function (a linear equation) while adhering to certain constr
