1. The most effective and widely used procedure for solving ILP problems is called:
a. LP relaxation.
b. The cutting plane approach.
c. The branch-and-bound (B&B) algorithm.
d. Simplex.
2. Many ILP packages allow you to specify a suboptimality tolerance of X% (where X is some numeric value). This number is used to:
a. Simplify complex computations.
b. Increase the number of evaluated alternatives.
c. Tell the B&B algorithm to stop to prevent evaluation of thousands of candidate problems.
d. Remove infeasible alternatives from consideration.
3. By default, Solver uses a suboptimality tolerance factor of 5%. This means that:
a. No integer solution can be found.
b. Integer solution was found within the stated tolerance.
c. Additional computations are required to find the optimal solution.
d. A B&B procedure is not effective in finding a solution to the problem.
4. The first step in formulating ILP problems is:
a. Defining the decision variables.
b. Implementing the model in a spreadsheet.
c. Defining the objective function.
d. Defining the constraints
