a.

Explanation of Solution

New optimal solution

  • Let x1 be the number of soldiers and x2 be the number of trains.
  • For a maximization problem, the new optimal value = (old optimal value) + (Constraint i’s shadow price).
  • For a minimization problem, the new optimal value = (old optimal value) – (Constraint i’s shadow price).
  • Here s1, s2 and s3 be the slack variables added

Explanation of Solution

Optimal basis

  • Let x1 be the number of soldiers and x2 be the number of trains.

The following figure shows a linear programming problem where the shaded region represents the polytope of feasible solutions, the colored lines represent constraint functions, and the black lines represent the contours of the objective function. Darker lines of the objective function contour represent larger values. It also shows five different points, all of which lie within the polytope. The linear program attempts to find the maximum value. Which point corresponds to a solution of the linear program? 2 (B) 5 1 3 E 4 20 …..
