The linear programming model for a transportation problem has constraints for
A) supply at each source.
B) supply at each source and demand at each destination.
C) demand at each destination.
D) a feasible solution.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transportation problem involves moving goods from sources to destinations, thus the constraints should include both the supply at each source and demand at each destination. The demand and supply constraints together ensure that the total supply does not exceed the demand and vice versa. Option A only includes the supply constraint and option C only includes the demand constraint. Option D is not a constraint, but rather a requirement for a valid LP solution.
