Question
Solving an integer programming problem by rounding off answers obtained by solving it as a linear programming problem (using simplex), we find that.
  1. The values of decision variables obtained by rounding off are always very close to the optimal values.
  2. The value of the objective function for a maximization problem will likely be less than that for the simplex solution.
  3. The value of the objective function for a minimization problem will likely be less than that for the simplex solution.
  4. All constraints are satisfied exactly.
  5. None of the above.

Answer

  1. The value of the objective function for a maximization problem will likely be less than that for the simplex solution.

Solution:

Solving an integer programming problem by rounding off answers obtained by solving it as a linear programming problem, we find that the value of the objective function for a maximization problem will likely be less than that for the simplex solution.
