Question

Each constraint in a linear programming model must contain the equality sign (“<=”, “>=”, or “=”).

Select one:

True

False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

While solving the linear programing problem it is neccessay to have equality (=) constraints.

Since only equality constraints are treated in standard linear programming, the inequalities Ax ≤ b or Ax ≥ b must be converted to equalities.But the constraints like Ax < b or Ax > b can not be converted to equalities.

Hence Each constraint in a linear programming model must contain the equality sign (“<=”, “>=”, or “=”). This is True
