Why duality is used in linear programming?

In linear programming, duality implies that each linear programming problem can be
analyzed in two different ways but would have equivalent solutions. Any LP
problem (either maximization and minimization) can be stated in another equivalent
form based on the same data.

What is maximization in linear programming?

The Fundamental Theorem of Linear Programming states that the maximum (or
minimum) value of the objective function always takes place at the vertices of the
feasibility region. ... To maximize Niki's income, we will substitute these points in the
objective function to see which point gives us the highest income per week.

What are the types of linear programming?

The different types of linear programming are:
 Solving linear programming by Simplex method.
 Solving linear programming using R.
 Solving linear programming by graphical method.
 Solving linear programming with the use of an open solver.
