The branch and bound method of solving linear integer programming problems is
A) a nonlinear method.
B) a relaxation method.
C) a graphical solution.
D) an enumeration method.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The branch and bound method is an enumeration method that solves linear integer programming problems by systematically examining all possible integer solutions within a given search space. It involves branching the search space into smaller subspaces and bounding the objective function within each subspace to find the optimal integer solution. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
