Solution

The correct answer is "all variables can be 0 at the same time."

Explanation:

The constraint W1 + W2 + W3 ≤ 2 means that the sum of the variables W1, W2, and W3 cannot exceed 2. Since W1, W2, and W3 are 0-1 integer variables, this means that they can either be 0 or 1.

If all variables are 0 at the same time, the constraint is still satisfied because 0 + 0 + 0 = 0, which is less than or equal to 2.

The statement "minimum two variables can occur at the same time" is not necessarily correct because it's possible for only one or none of the variables to occur at the same time and still satisfy the constraint.

The variables are not mutually exclusive because more than one of them can occur at the same time.

Therefore, the correct answer is "all variables can be 0 at the same time."

The following questions refer to a capital budgeting problem with six projects represented by 0-1 variables x1, x2, X3, X4, X5, and x6: (i) Write a constraint modeling a situation in which two of the projects 1, 3, 5, and 6 must be undertaken. (ii) Write a constraint modeling a situation in which, if projects 3 and 5 must be undertaken, they must be undertaken simultaneously. (iii) Write a constraint modeling a situation in which project 1 or 4 must be undertaken, but not both. (iv) Write constraints modeling a situation where project 4 cannot be undertaken unless projects 1 and 3 also are undertaken. (v) In addition to the requirement in part (iv), assume that when projects 1 and 3 are undertaken, project 4 also must be undertaken.
