A Mississippi Farmer Is Considering Adding a Special Breed of Bull

Question 42

Multiple Choice

A Mississippi farmer is considering adding a special breed of bull to his farm. Let X1=1X_{1}=1 imply that the bull will be purchased and 0 otherwise. If it is purchased, then the pounds of organic soy purchased per day (denoted by X2\mathrm{X}_{2} ) and the pounds of organic corn purchased per day (denoted by X3\mathrm{X}_{3} ) should be at least 50. If the bull is not purchased, this constraint will be immaterial. The constraint that implements this would be ( M\mathrm{M} stands for a very big positive number and assume non-negative variables)


A) X2+X350+MX1X_{2}+X_{3} \geq 50+M * X_{1}
B) X2+X350+M(1X1) X_{2}+X_{3} \geq 50+M *\left(1-X_{1}\right)
C) X2+X350X1X_{2}+X_{3} \geq 50 * X 1
D) X2+X350(1X1) X_{2}+X_{3} \geq 50 *\left(1-X_{1}\right)
