a.

Explanation of Solution

New optimal solution

  • Let x1 be the number of soldiers and x2 be the number of trains.
  • For a maximization problem, the new optimal value = (old optimal value) + (Constraint i’s shadow price).
  • For a minimization problem, the new optimal value = (old optimal value) – (Constraint i’s shadow price).
  • Here s1, s2 and s3 be the slack variables added

b.

Explanation of Solution

Optimal basis

  • Let x1 be the number of soldiers and x2 be the number of trains.
  • For a maximization problem, the new optimal value = (old optimal value) + (Constraint i’s shadow price).

The following figure shows a linear programming problem where the shaded region represents the polytope of feasible solutions, the colored lines represent constraint functions, and the black lines represent the contours of the objective function. Darker lines of the objective function contour represent larger values. It also shows five different points, all of which lie within the polytope. The linear program attempts to find the maximum value. Which point corresponds to a solution of the linear program? 2 (B) 5 1 3 E 4 20 …..

Problem 5. An Electricity board charges the following rates mentioned in the table for the use of electricity. All users are charged Taka 50 as a meter charge for every month. If any user wants to change/replace his meter, he will be charged taka 2000. The monthly bill will be generated based on ● Customer Category ● Consumed Units ● Phase ● For Category 3 and 5 along with other parameters, you need to also consider flat rate, peak time, and off-peak time. Take input from the user, how many units were consumed during flat rate, peak, or off-peak time. ● Meter Charge Write a program to read the name of the user, Customer Category, Phase, number of units consumed and print out the monthly bill. Note that ● Phase, flat rate, peak time and off-peak time will be appeared based on the customer category. ● The monthly bill will be calculated following the number of Days in a month
