Question

If the number of available constraints is 3 and the number of parameters to be optimised is 4, then

• A. The objective function can be optimised
• B. The constraints are short in number
• C. The solution is problem oriented
• D. None of the above

Hint:

In optimization problems, the number of constraints should be equal to or greater than the number of parameters to be optimised.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The optimization of \(n\) parameters necessitates a minimum of \(n\) constraints. With 3 constraints for 4 parameters, the number of constraints is insufficient.
