A. Feasible function.

B. Optimal function.

C. Criterion function.

D. Sustainability function.

E. Objective function.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

 Important PointsAn objective function is a requirement of linear programming.

• The objective function is a means to maximise (or minimise) something. 
• A primary objective criterion or objective aim, such as maximising profits or productivity or reducing costs or consumption, is represented by an objective function.
• The system's access to resources, such as people, materials, machines, or time, is practically always constrained.
• The choice variables are used as the inputs to linear equations that represent these limitations.
• Finding actual values for the choice variables that optimise the objective function while taking restrictions into account is the process of solving a linear programming issue.
• An objective function which states the determinants of the quantity to be either maximised or minimised is called a criterion function.
• Criterion functions are those that specify factors that should either be maximised or decreased with respect to quality.

Additional Information

• An approach to issue solving called linear programming was created to assist managers in making decisions.
• When there are multiple uses for resources such as money, personnel, materials, equipment, and other resources, linear programming is a mathematical technique for identifying the best allocation of those resources and achieving a specific goal.
