From the 1680's, there started a craze for printed Indian cotton textiles in England and Europe, mainly for their exquisite floral designs, fine texture and relative cheapness. Rich people of England including the Queen herself wore clothes of Indian fabric.

CBSE Class 12 - Mathematics - Linear Programming (Key Points) (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Linear Programming 

(Key Points)

① Linear Programming Problems – Problems which concern with finding the minimum or maximum value of a linear function Z (called objective function) of several variables (say x and y), subject to certain conditions that the variables are non-negative and satisfy a set of linear inequalities (called linear constraints) are known as linear programming problems.

② Objective function – A linear function z = ax + by, where a and b are constants, which has to be maximised or minimised according to a set of given conditions, is called a linear objective function.

③ Decision Variables – In the objective function z = ax + by, the variables x, y are said to be decision variables.

④ Constraints – The restrictions in the form of inequalities on the variables of a linear programming problem are called constraints. The condition x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 are known as non – negative restrictions.
