d. Which formulation is correct as is

Formulation 1
Maximize 10X₁ + 10X₂
Subject to 2X₁ ≤ 10
2X₁ + 4X₂ ≤ 16
4X₂ ≤ 8
X₁ = 6

Formulation 2
Maximize X₁ + 2X₂
Subject to X₁ ≤ 1
2X₂ ≤ 2
X₁ + 2X₂ ≤ 2

Formulation 3
Maximize 3X₁ + 2X₂
Subject to X₁ + X₂ ≥ 5
X₁ ≥ 2
2X₂ ≥ 8

Formulation 4
Maximize 3X₁ + 3X₂
Subject to 4X₁ + 6X₂ ≤ 48
4X₁ + 2X₂ ≤ 12
