Question 5

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 most 50. If the bull is not purchased, then 22 * the pounds of organic soy purchased 3-3^{*} the pounds of organic corn purchased should be at most 30. The constraint/s that implements this would be (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} and 2X23X330+M(1X1) 2 X_{2}-3 X_{3} \geq 30+M^{*}\left(1-X_{1}\right)
B) X2+X350X1X_{2}+X_{3} \geq 50 X_{1} and 2X23X330(1X1) 2 X_{2}-3 X_{3} \geq 30\left(1-X_{1}\right)
C) X2+X350X1X_{2}+X_{3} \leq 50 * X_{1} and 2X23X330(1X1) 2 X_{2}-3 X_{3} \leq 30\left(1-X_{1}\right)
D) X2+X350+M(1X1) X_{2}+X_{3} \leq 50+M^{*}\left(1-X_{1}\right) and 2X23X330+MX12 X_{2}-3 X_{3} \leq 30+M^{*} X_{1}
