Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The slack is the difference between the right- and left-hand sides of a constraint.
For example, consider the following constraint:
7x + 8y  168
If the optimal values of x and y are 5.25 and 10.5 respectively, the slack can be calculated as:
168 - (7  5.25 + 8  10.5 ) = 47.25
