CompTIA DataX (DY0-001) — Question 78

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?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Constrained, because the problem presents limits on fuel and boat capacities that must be considered in the optimization process. Options B, C, and D do not address the critical limitations imposed by the available resources and constraints, making them inappropriate for this scenario.
