Sir, I can’t understand how to find the optimum point.
It can be point A too right??
Question from chapter Limiting Factors Lecture.I have also asked the question in comments of that lecture. Kindly ignore.?
December 13, 2020 at 4:14 pm #599834We find the optimum point by moving out the contibution line, keeping it parallel, until the furthest corner away from the origin.
Alternatively check out the total contribution at point A and you will find that it is lower than at point B, so the mix at point B is the optimum.
December 13, 2020 at 6:13 pm #599843Okay Sir. So in exam I just need to do calculation of the point I find as optimum?
Or should I try others to just to be sure? (If two points look almost similar to optimum, won’t be able to find out with a ruler, right?)December 14, 2020 at 7:54 am #599875Yes – if they do look to be very similar (which would be unusual in the exam ) then you need to check both.
December 14, 2020 at 9:24 am #599885Okay Sir!! Thank you for the reply!!
