Any feasible solution to a blending problem with pooled components is feasible to the problem with no pooling.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If a feasible solution exists for a blending problem with pooled components, it is possible to obtain the same solution without pooling by simply treating each pooled component as a separate component. Therefore, the problem with no pooling has at least one feasible solution if the problem with pooling has one.
