Step-by-Step Analysis
The question introduces a new constraint: the number of Agriculture projects cannot exceed 6. It then asks three subquestions (a, b, c) about the impact of this change. Option a: Would the optimal solution change? - The new cap on Agriculture projects directly alters the objective’s feasible choices. If, under the original constraints, the optimal solution allocated more than 6 Agriculture projects or relied on that upper limit to achieve the best objective value, imposing a hard cap would force a different allocation that satisfies the new constraint. Therefore, it is plausible that the optimal solution would change when the Agriculture-project cap is introduced. -......Login to view full explanation
