Question

A linear function z = ax + by, where a and b are constants, which has to be maximised or minimised according to a set of given condition is called a:-

विकल्प

• Decision variables

• Constraints

• Objective function

• None of these

Answer 1

Objective function

Explanation:

Decision Variables: The variables x and y in the objective function z = ax + by are referred to as decision variables.

Constraints: The restrictions in the form of inequalities on the variables of a linear programming problems are called constraints. The conditions x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 are known as non-negative restrictions.
