Linear Programming Question 91

Question: The intermediate solutions of constraints must be checked by substituting them back into

Options:

A) Objective function

B) Constraint equations

C) Not required

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

When solving optimization problems using methods like the simplex method or graphical methods, intermediate solutions (also known as candidate solutions) obtained by solving the system of constraints must be verified.

To ensure that these solutions satisfy all constraints, they need to be substituted back into the constraint equations and checked. This is because the objective function might not fully capture all the constraints, especially if there are complex or nonlinear constraints involved.

Thus, the correct option is B) Constraint equations.
