MCQ
Solving an integer programming problem by rounding off answers obtained by solving it as a linear programming problem (using simplex), we find that.
  • A
    The values of decision variables obtained by rounding off are always very close to the optimal values.
  • The value of the objective function for a maximization problem will likely be less than that for the simplex solution.
  • C
    The value of the objective function for a minimization problem will likely be less than that for the simplex solution.
  • D
    All constraints are satisfied exactly.

Answer

Correct option: B.
The value of the objective function for a maximization problem will likely be less than that for the simplex 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.
