Suppose That the First Goal in a GP Problem Is $\mathrm{d}_{1}^{-}=0, \mathrm{~d}_{1}^{+}=10$

question 8

Multiple Choice

Suppose that the first goal in a GP problem is to make 3 X₁ + 4 X₂ approximately equal to 36.Using the deviational variables d₁^? and d₁⁺,the following constraint can be used to express this goal.
3 X₁ + 4 X₂ + d₁^? ? d₁⁺ = 36
If we obtain a solution where X₁ = 6 and X₂ = 2,what values do the deviational variables assume?

• A)\(\mathrm{d}_{1}^{-}=0, \mathrm{~d}_{1}^{+}=10\)
• B)\(\mathrm{d}_{1}^{-}=10, \mathrm{~d}_{1}^{+}=0\)
• C)\(\mathrm{d}_{1}^{-}=5, \mathrm{~d}_{1}^{+}=5\)
• D)\(\mathrm{d}_{1}^{-}=6, \mathrm{~d}_{1}^{+}=0\)
