Question 1
Solve the following LP using the graphical method.
Max Z = 3X1 - X2
X1+X2 ≤ 10
X1 - X2 ≤2
X1, X2 ≥0
Solve-it again using the simplex method and determine all the corner points considered till
optimality is reached.
Question 2
Consider the following LP
Max Z = 5X1 + 2X2 - X3
-2X1 + X2 - X3 ≤1
X1 + X2 ≤ 3
X1, X2, X3 ≥ 0
1. Before solving the problem, could you expect a large number of simplex iterations?
Justify your answer.
2. Find the optimal solution using the simplex method.
3. For each constraint say if it is binding or not. Justify your answer.
Question 3
Solve the following LP using the simplex method and determine all the corner points
considered until optimality is reached.
Max Z = 5X1 + 2X2 + X3
X1 + 3X2 - X3 + S1 = 6,
X2 + X3 + S2 = 4,
3X1 + X2 + S3 = 7,
X1, X2, X3, S1, S2, S3 ≥ 0
Question 4
Solve the following LP
Max Z= 2X1 + 4X2 + X3
X1 + 3X2 - X3 + S1 = 6,
X2 + S2 = 4,
3X1 + X2 + S3 = 7,
X1, X2, X3 ≥ 0
Was the obtained result predictable? Why?
