Summary Introduction

To determine: The circumstances under which the constraints are more important than the objective function in the linear programming problem.

Introduction:

Linear programming:

It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop a best outcome for the problem on hand. The outcome might be maximum profit or less cost which are represented by a linear relationship. The outcome will take into consideration the constraints present in achieving the solution.

Objective function:

It is a linear function representing a cost, profit or some other quantity. The motive of the objective function is to maximize or minimize a quantity taking the constraints into consideration.

Constraints:

The constraints are the limitation for a situation within which the process must operate. The constraints are the limits within which the available resources can be utilized so as to maximize or minimize a quantity.
