Exercise-6
Max z = 3x1 + 2 x2 + 5 x3
s/t x1 + 2 x2 + x3 ≤ 430, 3x1 + 2 x3 ≤ 460, x1 + 4 x2 ≤ 420, x1 , x2 , x3 ≥ 0.
Given that x2 , x3 , x6 (slack variable corresponding to constraint 3) form the optimal basis
and inverse of the optimal basis is, row-wise; ½, -1/4, 0; 0, ½ 0; -2, 1, 1. Form the
optimal table based on this information.
5. In problem 4, find the optimal solution, using sensitivity analysis if the objective function is
changed to
(i) Max z = 12 x1 + 5x2 + 2 x3 (ii) Min z = 2 x2 − 5x3
7. In problem 4, suppose that the right hand side of the constraint becomes (30 + a , 40 – a ),
a is nonnegative parameter. Determine the values of a so that the solution of the problem
remain optimal.

optimal.
