In linear programming, the region satisfying all the constraints is called the:
- 1 Feasible region
- 2 Objective
- 3 Boundary only
- 4 Optimal point
Show answer
Correct answer: Feasible region
It is the set of all points that meet the constraints.

-
The optimal value of a linear objective function over a feasible region occurs at a:
- 1 Origin always
- 2 Corner point
- 3 Outside the region
- 4 Midpoint
Show answer
Correct answer: Corner point
The maximum or minimum is at a vertex.

The inequality 2x + y less than or equal to 6 includes the point:
- 1 (4, 1)
- 2 (3, 3)
- 3 (5, 5)
- 4 (1, 1)
Show answer
Correct answer: (1, 1)
2 + 1 = 3, which is at most 6.

Maximise z = x + y subject to x + y at most 4, x and y at least 0. The maximum value is:
Show answer
Correct answer: 4
The best corner points give x + y = 4.

-
The inequalities x at least 0 and y at least 0 restrict the region to the:
- 1 Second quadrant
- 2 First quadrant
- 3 Fourth quadrant
- 4 Third quadrant
Show answer
Correct answer: First quadrant
Both coordinates are non negative.

-
A constraint in a linear programming problem is a:
- 1 Linear inequality
- 2 Matrix
- 3 Quadratic equation
- 4 Constant
Show answer
Correct answer: Linear inequality
It limits the variables.
Report a mistake
-
An unbounded feasible region means the objective can:
- 1 Be exactly zero only
- 2 Increase without limit in some direction
- 3 Never be positive
- 4 Be negative only
Show answer
Correct answer: Increase without limit in some direction
No upper limit is set by the constraints.
