Suppose that a constraint 2x₁+3x₂ ≥ 900 is binding. Then, a constraint 4x₁+6x₂ ≥ 600 is A) redundant. B) binding. C) limiting. D) infeasible.

If a constraint is binding, it means that it is already being fully utilized in the optimal solution. Adding another constraint with the same variables would not change the optimal solution or the feasible region. Therefore, it is redundant.
