Linear Programming is the easiest chapter from a content point of view. It is a very
small chapter. That being said, the questions from LP can get very lengthy especially
if the question says to solve a problem by Simplex method or a Transportation
problem. Lengthier the problem means more calculations which in turn implies more
the probability to commit calculation mistakes. That’s the only catch in this relatively
easier chapter.
The 10 markers are generally simpler and less lengthy, which can be handled (eg -
Problems using Graphical method, Finding Dual etc). I tried to avoid the
non-compulsory lengthy problems from LP(Simplex and Transportation problems)
and instead try to solve two problems from Section-B, as I was better prepared in the
Physics portion. I would not advise the aspirants to strictly follow this but I would
highly recommend aspirants to get comfortable with Section-B of Paper-2. It opens
up a great alternative which not only saves time but also helps to avoid calculation
mistakes of Section-A.
