Question

54. Linear programming has been successfully applied in
(A) Agricultural
(B) Industrial applications
(C) Both A and B
(D) Manufacturing
among the relevant variables​

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear programming is used to obtain optimal solutions for operations research. ... Many fields use linear programming techniques to make their processes more efficient. These include food and agriculture, engineering, transportation, manufacturing and energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C - Both agricultural (A) and industrial applications (B) are the correct answer.

Explanation:

• In operations research, linear programming is used to find the best solutions.
• Researchers can use linear programming to find the best, most cost-effective solution to a problem while keeping all of the problem's restrictions in mind.
• To improve the efficiency of their processes, many fields employ linear programming techniques.
• Food and agriculture, engineering, transportation, manufacturing, industrial and energy are among them.
• Agriculture and Food: Linear programming techniques are used by farmers in their labour. Farmers may increase their earnings by selecting what crops to cultivate, how much to grow, and how to use them efficiently.
• Industrial applications: In business and industry, linear programming is used for production planning, transportation and routing, and many sorts of schedules. Airlines arrange their flights using linear algorithms that account for both aircraft and crew scheduling.

Hence, both in agricultural and industrial applications linear programming has been useful.
