The restriction x11,x12, x21, x22 ≥ 0 in the model means:

a. Each decision variable must be positive in the optimal solution.
b. Each decision variable must be nonnegative in the optimal solution.
c. x11+ x12 + x21 + x22 ≥ 0
d. All of the above
e. None of the above

Answer :

jepessoa

Answer:

b. Each decision variable must be non-negative in the optimal solution.

Explanation:

This constraint or restriction states that x11, x12, x21, and x22 all must be at least 0 or greater. in other words, they cannot be negative numbers. If the restriction had been > (greater than), then it would mean that all the variables must be positive numbers. But since it is ≥ (greater than or equal to), 0 is a valid option.
