Sun Baker's makes 2 kinds of special dessert every day.

A normal one
The chocolate flavoured dessert requires an additional input of 4g coc
The supplier of the cocoa powder has agreed to provide the powder o
is bought at a time. Due to the humid environment, storing up the coc
is not practical and so must be used up in a day. Both the items needs
the microwave oven which is available only for 5 hours a day

here the variable X1 and a are basic variables, so we don't consider them,
we
we look for X2, X3 and X4 and find that the Cj-Zj values corresponding to them
are negative Now we don’t have any entering variable
when we started the problem, we did it by introducing a variable 'a' to start the problem
we don’t want it to be as a part of final solution

we handled it by introducing a large variable 'M' with a negative sign so that the large negative
value of M will prevent it from being in the solution. We stated with the principle that
this a will not be a part of solution, (if solution exists) but later we find that we are not able
remove it from the solution. It shows that the original problem doesn’t have a solution at all

It creates the case of Infeasible solution
