If the feasible region is unbounded, an optimum may:
AAlways exist
BBe infinite
CBe at zero
DNot exist
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Not exist
1. An unbounded region stretches away without limit.
2. The objective can then keep growing.
3. So a maximum or minimum may not exist.
4. The answer is it may not exist.
