The Answer is (a)Initialization: After introducing slack variables,the initial system of equations is (0)Z - 2 x₁ + x₂ - x₃ = 0 (1)x₁ - x₂ + 3 x₃+ x₄ = 4 (2)2 x₁ + x₂ + x₅= 10 (3)x₁ - x₂ - x₃ + x₆ = 7 Thus,the initial BF solution is (0,0,0,4,10,7),which is not optimal since Z = 2x₁ - x₂ + x₃ can be incresed by increasing either x₁ or x₃.Iteration 1: Choosing x₁ as the entering basic variable (since increasing x₁ increases Z at the fastest rate)and x₄ as the leaving basic variable (by the minimum ratio test),using elementary algebraic operations to restore proper form from Gaussian elimination then leads to the following system of equations.(0)Z - x₂ + 5 x₃+ 2 x₄ = 8 (1)x₁ - x₂ + 3 x₃+ x₄ = 4 (2)3 x₂ - 6 x₃- 2 x₄ + x₅ = 2 (3) - 4 x₃- x₄ +x₆ = 3 Thus,the current BF solution is (4,0,0,0,2,3),which is not optimal since Z = x₂ - 5x₃ - 2x₄ + 8 can be increased by increasing x₂.Iteration 2: Choosing x₂ as the entering basic variable and x₅ as the leaving basic variable (by the minimum ratio test),using elementary algebraic operations to restore proper form from Gaussian elimination then leads to the following system of equations.(0)Z + 3 x₃+ 4/3 x₄ + 1/3 x₅ = 8.667 (1)x₁ + x₃+ 1/3 x₄+ 1/3 x₅ = 4.667 (2)x₂ - 2 x₃- 2/3 x₄ + 1/3 x₅ = 0.667 (3)- 4 x₃- x₄ + x₆ = 3 From Eq.(0),Z = -3 x₃- 4/3 x₄ - 1/3 x₅ + 8.667,so Z cannot be increased by increasing any of the nonbasic variables.Therefore,the current BF solution (4.667,0.667,0,0,0,3)is optimal with Z = 8.667.(b)Using the same logic as described above,the simplex method in tableau form is shown below.

The current BF solution (4.667,0.667,0,0,0,3)is optimal with Z = 8.667.
