EXERCISE SET 1 (1ST OF THREE EXERCISE SETS in SIMPLEX: TO BE SOLVED ASYNCH BY TEAM)

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? (Introduction):

This EXERCISE SHEET (5X1) is ONE OF THREE EXERCISE SETS designed to help students

uploaded INDIVIDUALLY to the CANVAS link on or before the end of the week.

HOW DO WE GO ABOUT THIS (Instructions):

solve them together (submit your final output using Microsoft word) & upload individually into
CANVAS.

PROBLEM SET (Instructions): USE SIMPLEX METHOD ONLY TO FIND OPTIMUM SOLUTION.
