The restrictions placed on the variables of a linear programming problem are called:
AContributions
BConstraints
CContractions
DContradictions
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Constraints
1. A linear programming problem never lets the variables range freely.
2. Money, space and other limits are written as inequalities.
3. Those linear inequalities or equations are called constraints.
4. So the answer is constraints.
