Question

Which of the following constraints correctly describe this requirement: The management also requires produce at least one kg of product 2 (denoted by X2) for every five kgs of product 1 (denoted by X1).

a. 5X1 + X 2 ≥ 0
b. X1 + 5 X 2 ≥ 0
c. X1 + 5 X 2 ≤ 0

Answer 1

a. 5X1 + X 2 ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Product 2 = X2

Product 1 = X1

Mass in kg of product (X1) = 5

Mass in kg of product (X2) ≥ 1 (atleast 1 kg)

Combining these Constraint :

For every 5kg of X1 ; X2 ≥ = 1

Hence ;

5X1 + X2 ≥ 0
