Answer:
option c) x₁₁ + x₁₂ = 8000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
xij = gallons of component i used in gasoline j
gallons of component 1 available = 8,000
demand gasoline types 1 = 11,000
demand gasoline types 2 = 14,000
Here, we have only component 1 available i.e i = 1 only
( therefore, all the options containing i = 2 gets eliminated )
thus,
component 1 will fulfill the demand of gasoline types 1 and 2 i.e j = 1 and 2
hence,
the equation satisfying the above conditions comes out as:
x₁₁ + x₁₂ = 8000
that means gallons of component 1 used in gasoline 1 and 2 and the total equals to the gallons of component 1 available i.e 8000
53,927+3,483,511=3,537,438 square miles.
