Question

Which of the following arguments the student makes is correct? In the chart, FS = fractional solution, BS = binary solution, and INF = infeasible solution.

The optimal solution has been found and it is Z = 36.

a) Further branching is needed in node 1.

b) Further branching is needed in node 2.

c) Further branching is needed in node 3.

d) None of the above is correct.

turther branching is needed in node 3. E) None of the above is correct. Bs, Z 37.3 FS, Z 38.5 x1 0 FS, Z 38.5 FS. Z 40.9 FS, Z 40.1 FS, Z 40.9 INF BS, z 36

Explanation / Answer

B) further branching is required at node 2

as the optimal value Z= 36 and thus it needs further branching at node 2 to properly calculate the values
