If the solution to an optimization problem violates two constraints but satisfies three, it is a(an) ________.
A) suboptimal solution
B) infeasible solution
C) inoptimal solution
D) unbounded solution
E) simplex solution

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the solution violates two constraints, then it does not meet all the requirements of the problem and is therefore infeasible. A suboptimal solution would satisfy all constraints but would not be the best possible solution. An inoptimal solution is not a commonly used term in optimization. An unbounded solution arises when the objective function can be infinitely improved, and a simplex solution refers to a specific algorithm used to solve linear programming problems.
