Question

Which of the following statements regarding the center of gravity method is false

A. It is designed to minimize the maximum possible travel distance to any location.
B. The optimal x- and y- coordinates are calculated separately.
C. The weights used are the quantity of goods move to or from each location
D. The origin of the coordinate system and the scale used are arbitrary, just as long as the relative distances are correctly represented.
E. All of the above

Answer 1

Consider the following explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

False statement are as follows,

A) It is designed to minimize the maximum possible travel distance to any location

This statemet is false

Explanation- Center of gravity has nothing to do with travel distance or any kind of diisplacement. Following sentence is used in cargo industry ffor effieicent transportation.

C) And D) Are also false

Explanation- They are also a part of cargo management hence cannot be used in center of gravity method.

Only Option B) Is correct
