The graphical method is excellent for straightforward problems involving just two variables since it offers visual insights, but it is only useful in these situations and is less appropriate for larger problems. The simplex technique, on the other hand, needs mathematical expertise and may include additional computational processes, but it is effective for solving problems with several variables and constraints.
The advantage of graphical linear programming is its visual representation for simple problems, while the simplex method's advantage lies in its ability to handle more complex problems, but it can be computationally intensive; however, graphical method is limited to problems with only two variables and the simplex method may require more computational resources for larger problems
advantage of graphical : Easy to solve and understand. Disadvantage : Can't be used for 3 or more constrains as it is only used for two dimensional representation. Simplex method advantage : Can be used for 3 or more constrain, can also be used even the problem is 2 dimentional. Disadvantage : the process is more complex than in graphical and it takes to much time to solve for optimal solution specially when solving simplex method of mimization as you need to convert the mathematical representation of the table to matrix and from matrix you need to transpose it to change it to become a maximization and soon..... to get the optimal solution.
