In a goal programming problem with two goals at the same priority level,all the deviational variables are equal to zero in the optimal solution.This means
A)there is no feasible solution to the problem.
B)all goals are fully achieved.
C)nonlinear programming must be used to solve this.
D)this problem was an integer programming problem.
E)None of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When all deviational variables are equal to zero in a goal programming problem with two goals at the same priority level, it means that both goals are fully achieved in the optimal solution. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because if there were no feasible solution to the problem, then the deviational variables would not all be zero. Option C is incorrect because it is possible to solve a goal programming problem with two goals at the same priority level using linear programming. Option D is incorrect because the problem being an integer programming problem is not relevant to the given information.
