Question

objectives of linear programming

Answer 1

   We are given a set of linear equations relating variables with each other. The variables represent quantities like profit, loss, turnover, cost, volume, expenditure, time duration, sales, mass, size, area etc.  These equations are often inequalities and give lower or upper limits of acceptable regions.

  The objective is to optimize profit, or minimize loss in general. Linear programming model aims to maximize or minimize a physical quantity that depends on many constraints.
