Suppose That the First Goal in a GP Problem Is

question 17

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) d₁− = 0, d₁⁺ = 10
• B) d₁− = 10, d₁⁺ = 0
• C) d₁− = 5, d₁⁺ = 5
• D) d₁− = 6, d₁⁺ = 0
