Question

Objective of linear programming for an objective function is to
A) Maximize or minimize.
B) Subset or proper set modeling
C) Row or column modeling
D) Adjacent modeling

Answer 1

Hint: Use the definition of an objective function and linear programming with the help of these definitions you can easily observe the relation and you will get the answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
An objective function is a mathematical equation that describes the production output target that corresponds to the maximization of profits with repeat to production.
We know that an objective function attempts to maximize profits or minimize losses based on a set of constraints and the relationship between one or more decision variables.
And we also know that –
Linear programming is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum or minimum profit) in a mathematical model whose requirements are represented by linear graphs.
From the definition of objective function and linear programming, we can notice that “objective function attempts to find maximum profit or minimum loss and linear programming is a method to achieve the maximum profit or minimum”.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.

Note: In linear programming, all the concepts are mainly based on the definitions of the terms. So, for solving a question of linear programming, students need to memorize all these definitions.
