A linear programming problem contains a restriction that reads "the quantity of Q must be no larger than the sum of R, S, and T." Formulate this as a constraint ready for use in problem solving software.

A) Q + R + S + T ≤ 4
B) Q ≥ R + S + T
C) Q - R - S - T ≤ 0
D) Q / (R + S + T) ≤ 0
E) Q × (R + S + T) ≤ 4

Restriction

A rule or condition that limits or controls what can be done.

Quantity

The amount or number of material or immaterial things considered as a unit.

Sum

The total obtained by adding together a set of numbers or quantities.

  • Construct constraints for linear programming based on statements of problems.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The constraint can be written as Q <= R + S + T, which can be rearranged to Q - R - S - T <= 0. Therefore, option C is the correct formulation of the constraint.
