In both cases the constraints are used to produce an n-dimensional simplex which represents the "feasible region". In the case of linear programming this is the feasible region. But that is not the case for integer programming since only those points within the region for which the variables are integer are feasible.
The objective function is then used to find the maximum or minimum - as required. In the case of a linear programming problem, the solution must lie on one of the vertices (or along one line in 2-d, plane in 3-d etc) of the simplex and so is easy to find. In the case of integer programming, the optimal solution so found may contain one or more variables that are not integer and so it is necessary to examine all the points in the immediate neighbourhood and evaluate the objective function at each of these points. This last requirement makes integer programming solutions more difficult to find.
N squared. It could be the Cartesian plane restricted to integer values, as required for integer linear programming problems.
It depends on the problem: you may have to use integer programming rather than linear programming.
Linear programming can be used to solve problems requiring the optimisation (maximum or minimum) of a linear objective function when the variables are subject to a linear constraints.
It is used in many optimization problems.
1. What do you understand by Linear Programming Problem? What are the requirements of Linear Programming Problem? What are the basic assumptions of Linear Programming Problem?
Integer programming is a subset of linear programming where the feasible region is reduced to only the integer values that lie within it.

Integer programming is a method of mathematical programming that restricts some or all of the variables to integers. A subset of Integer programming is Linear programming. This is a form of mathematical programming which seeks to find the best outcome in such a way that the requirements are linear relationships.
N squared. It could be the Cartesian plane restricted to integer values, as required for integer linear programming problems.
No. However, a special subset of such problems: integer programming, can have two optimal solutions.
It depends on the problem: you may have to use integer programming rather than linear programming.
No, it will not. In fact, there is a special branch of linear programming which is called integer programming and which caters for situations where the solution must consist of integers.

A linear programming question with two variables. Problems with three can be solved if there is a constraint that reduces them to effectively two variables. Linear programming with 3 variables, using 3-d graphs is possible but not recommended.
