As part of a larger problem,you are trying to determine whether or not to open a plant with a capacity of 10,000 units (using binary variable Y).You also define X as the number of units (if any)produced at that plant.How will you ensure that Y will equal 1 if the plant is open?
A)Y ≥ X
B)Y ≤ X
C)X + Y ≥ 2
D)X = 10000Y
E)X ≤ 10000Y

If the plant is open (Y=1), then X can be any value up to 10,000. If the plant is closed (Y=0), then X must be 0. The constraint X ≤ 10000Y ensures this relationship.
