Explanation Procedure used: Table method (Two Decision Variables) : Assume that a standard maximization problem in standard form has two decision variables x 1 and x 2 and m problem constraints. Step 1: Use slack variables s 1 , s 2 , … s m to convert the i -system to an e- system. Step 2: From a table with ( m + 2 ) ( m + 1 ) 2 rows and m + 2 columns labeled x 1 , x 2 , s 1 , s 2 , … s m . In the first row, assign 0 to x 1 and x 2 . In second row, assign 0 to x 1 and s 1 . Continue until the rows contain all possible combinations of assigning two 0’s to the variables. Step 3: Complete each row to a solution of e - system, if possible. Because two of the variables have the value 0, this involves solving a system of m linear equations in m variables. Use the Gauss-Jordan method, or another method if you find it easier. If the system has no solution or infinite many solutions, do not complete the row. Step 4: Find the maximum value of P over those completed rows that have no negative values. It is the optimal value of the objective function, provided the optimal value exists. Definition used: The basic solution ( x 1 , x 2 , s 1 , s 2 ) is called a feasible solution, if all variables in the solution is non negative. Calculation: The given linear programming problem is, Maximize P = 15 x 1 + 20 x 2 Subject to { x 1 + x 2 ≤ 6 x 1 + 4 x 2 ≤ 12 x 1 , x 2 ≥ 0 Convert the above system inequality into the system equation as; x 1 + x 2 = 6 x 1 + 4 x 2 = 12 Let the slack variable for the above system equation be s 1 and s 2 . Add the slack variables s 1 and s 2 to the above equation and obtain the e - system as; x 1 + x 2 + s 1 = 6 x 1 + 4 x 2 + s 2 = 12 Here, the number of problem constrains is m = 2 , so there will be ( 2 + 2 ) ( 2 + 1 ) 2 = 6 rows in the table of all basic solutions. Since the constraints contain two decision variables, x 1 and x 2 , assign two zeros to each row of the table in all possible combinations. Construct a table of all basic solution by assigning zero to the decision variables and slack variable as follows. Substitute the value x 1 = 0 and x 2 = 0 in the e -system and solve for s 1 and s 2 . 0 + 0 + s 1 = 6 s 1 = 6 0 + 4 ( 0 ) + s 2 = 12 s 2 = 12 Hence, the basic solutions to the e -system is ( 0 , 0 , 6 , 12 ) . Substitute the value x 1 = 0 and s 1 = 0 in the e -system and solve for x 2 and s 2 . 0 + x 2 + ( 0 ) = 6 x 2 = 6 0 + 4 x 2 + s 2 = 12 4 ( 6 ) + s 2 = 12 ( Substitute x 2 = 6 ) s 2 = − 12 Hence, the basic solution to the e -system is ( 0 , 6 , 0 , − 12 ) . Substitute the value x 2 = 0 and s 1 = 0 in the e -system and solve for x 1 and s 2 . x 1 + 0 + 0 = 6 x 1 = 6 x 1 + 4 ( 0 ) + s 2 = 12 6 + s 2 = 12 ( Substitute x 1 = 6 ) s 2 = 6 Hence, the basic solution to the e -system is ( 6 , 0 , 0 , 6 ) . Substitute the value x 1 = 0 and s 2 = 0 in the e -system and solve for x 2 and s 1 . 0 + 4 x 2 + 0 = 12 x 2 = 3 0 + x 2 + s 1 = 6 0 + 3 + s 1 = 6 ( Substitute x 2 = 3 ) s 1 = 3 Hence, the basic solution to the e -system is ( 0 , 3 , 3 , 0 )
