DY0-001 · Question #35
Given these business requirements: - Needs to most efficiently move 3,000 boxes across a river - Has one boat that holds eight boxes, travels at ten nautical miles per hour, and has a fuel economy…
The correct answer is A. Constrained. You must optimize boat trips subject to strict resource limits (fuel, boat capacity, travel distance), making this a constrained optimization problem (e.g., solvable via linear programming).

Question
Given these business requirements:
- Needs to most efficiently move 3,000 boxes across a river
- Has one boat that holds eight boxes, travels at ten nautical miles
per hour, and has a fuel economy of six nautical miles per gallon
- Has another boat that holds two boxes, travels at 50 nautical miles
per hour, and has a fuel economy of 18 nautical miles per gallon
- The river is one nautical mile wide
- The data scientist only has access to 125 gallons of fuel
Which of the following is the most likely optimization technique a data scientist would apply?
Options
- AConstrained
- BUnconstrained
- CNon-iterative
- DIterative
