Explanation / Answer

Solution :

1 : Option : D : 330

Optimal Objective Function Value = Summation of ( Activity Final Value * Objective Coefficient)

Optimal Objective Function Value = 3 * 30 + 6 * 40 + 0 * 20 = 330

2 : Option : C : 30 <= A2 <= 90

Lower Limit = Objective coefficient - Allowable Decrease = 40 - 10 = 30

Upper Limit = Objective coefficient + Allowable Increase = 40 + 50 = 90
