Title: Solving Reddy Mikks problem on Excel solver.
Objective:
 To learn using excel solver for solving optimal problems.
Introduction:
Microsoft Excel solver is a spreadsheet program used for calculations, making charts and
recording data about all sorts of business process. In most cases, the solver linking code is
available at no additional charge. Solvers for which links have been constructed include:

For linear programming:
 Continuous: BPMPD, CPLEX, LAMPS, LOQO, LP_SOLVE, MINOS, OSL, SOPT, XA,
XLSOL/LS-XLSOL, XPRESS-MP
 Integer: CPLEX, LAMPS, OSL, SOPT, XA, XLSOL/LS-XLSOL, XPRESS
 MPNetwork: CPLEX, OSL
For nonlinear programming:
 Quadratic: CPLEX, OSL, XLSOL
 Convex: SOPT
 General continuous: CONOPT, DONLP2, FSQP, GRG2/LSGRG, LANCELOT, LOQO,
MINOS, NPSOL, SNOPT
 General integer: GRG2/LSGRG
