Which of the following statements about Solver's Multistart option are TRUE?
A) A nonlinear problem will always have the solution for any starting point.
B) Multistart always uses 100 random starting points.
C) Using Multistart guarantees that Solver will find the optimal solution.
D) Multistart may not find the optimal solution.
E) Multistart works well with functions such as "IF" and "ROUND."

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multistart can improve the chances of finding a good solution by trying multiple starting points, but it does not guarantee finding the optimal solution. The number of random starting points can be adjusted in Solver's options, and Multistart can work with various types of functions. However, the truthfulness of statement A cannot be guaranteed as it depends on the specific nonlinear problem.
