Question

A variable which has no physical meaning, but is used to obtain an initial basic feasible solution to the linear programming problem is referred to as:

Answer 1

The variable equations are termed as constraints...
In linear Programming..

Answer 2

A basic variable has no meaning physically but is used to find the result of the linear program.

• The information in the program is stored in the variables.
• Users can assign the value to the variable and laterally can perform operations using that value.
• Instead of using values everywhere,  just need to invoke those variables only.
• We can store all the data using variables regardless of their types.
• The basic variable does not have any physical meaning.
• Using basic variables we can store all the values except zero.
