Relations between factors must be linear (Positive) 2. Relations between factors must be linear (Negative) 3. aorb 4. none of the above Correct Answer: Option 3 (Solution Below) Solu Concept: Linear Programming: Linear programming is an important optimization (maximization or minimization) technique used in decision making in business and every — day life for obtaining the maximum or minimum values as required of linear expression, subjected to satisfy a certain number of gven linear restrictions Linear programming problem (LPP): The lineer programming problems general calls for optimizing (maxim zingéminimizing) a linear function of variables called the objective function subject to a set of linear equations andior Inear inequations called the corstraints or restrictons The function which is to be optimized (maxmized or minimized) is called objective function. The system of linear inequations (or equations) under which the objective function is to be optirrized ate called the constraints. A primary requirement of an LPP is that both the objective function and all the constraints must be expressed in terms of linear equations and inequalities. And all the decision variables must be non-negative. Ditestbook BN Mew cue ell) a rtselt) CUES’ Question 5: When did BCAS become an independent body under the Ministry of Civil Aviation?
