Question

The role of artificial variable in simplex method is
a) To obtain optimal solution
b) To get alternate solution
c) To facilitate initial basic feasible solution
d) To get standard form of LPP

Answer 1

answer is (d) to get standard from of lpp

Answer 2

Simplex method

(c) To facilitate initial basic feasible solution

Simplex method : It is the method of solving linear programming problems .

In this method,

We eradicate the issues in linear programming by giving systematic algorithm as it examines the basic feasible solutions, once at a time , till we get the optimal basic feasible solution. It also has the ability to evaluate whether the solution exist or not.

In this method the objective must be to maximize or minimize the function.
