If the feasible region is unbounded, a maximum or minimum value:
AMay not exist
BMust always exist
CMust be negative
DMay be duplicated
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. May not exist
1. An unbounded region stretches away without limit in some direction.
2. The objective function may simply keep growing along it.
3. If the region is unbounded, a maximum or minimum may not exist.
4. So existence has to be checked rather than assumed.
