a.

Explanation of Solution

Optimal solution

  • The new optimum solution value or profit is calculated by the given formula:

    New value = Old value – (Key column value × Key row value) / Key value

  • The key row value can be calculated by the given formula:

     Key row value = Current key row value / Ke
