The method of testing the vertices of the feasible region is called the:
ACorner piece method
BCentral point method
CCurved point method
DCorner point method
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Corner point method
1. The optimum is known to sit at a vertex rather than inside the region.
2. So only the vertices need to be tested.
3. This method of solving a linear programming problem is the corner point method.
4. It begins by finding the feasible region and its corner points.
