If an L.P.P.'s objective attains the same optimal value at two distinct vertices, then (as illustrated in section 7.2.3's Example 4) every point on the line segment joining those two vertices is also optimal, giving infinitely many optimal solutions. Option A is false (an unbounded or infeasible L.P.P. may have no optimal solution); option B is false (multiple optima can occur); option D is false (the feasible region of an L.P.P. is always a convex set by Theorem 1).

✓Final answer

The correct option is C) if L.P.P. has two optimal solutions then it has infinite number of optimal solutions
