Duality
Duality is a linear programming (LP) concept which states that it is possible to interpret every LP problem using two distinct methods, but they will have similar solutions. That means any LP problem can be mentioned in another equivalent form based on i…

Explanation of Solution

Optimal solution

  • The optimal solution to the linear problem occurs when the two constraints are binding.
  • Hence the optimal solution is the solution to
