The objective function of LPP defined over the convex set attains its optimum value at
Options
- AAt least two of the corner points
- BAll the corner points
- CAt least one of the corner points
- DNone of the corner points
Correct answer
C. At least one of the corner points
Step-by-step solution
Let (Z=a x+ ) by be the objective function When Z has optimum value(maximum or minimum), where the variables (x ) and (y ) are subject to constraints described by linear inequalities, this optimum value must occur at a corner points of the feasible region. Thus, the function attains its optimum value at one of the corner points.
