Consider the following conditions:
(a)The solution must be feasible, i.e. it must satisfy all the supply and demand constraints.
(b)The number of positive allocations must be equal to m1n21, where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns.
(c)All the positive allocations must be in independent positions.
The initial solution of a transportation problem is said to be non-degenerate basic feasible solution if it satisfies:
Codes:
(A) (a) and (b) only
(B) (a) and (c) only
(C) (b) and (c) only
(D) (a), (b) and (c)
Answer: (D)
Explanation: The initial solution of a transportation problem is said to be non-degenerate basic feasible solution if it satisfies:
(a)The solution must be feasible, i.e. it must satisfy all the supply and demand constraints.
(b)The number of positive allocations must be equal to m1n21, where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns.
(c)All the positive allocations must be in independent positions.
So, option (D) is correct.
