A transportation problem has 10 origins and 32 destinations. How many possible routes are there for this problem? What is the maximum number of routes that will be used in the optimal solution?
What will be an ideal response?
The number of possible routes is origins times destinations, or 10(32 ) = 320. The number of filled cells (routes used) in the solution is no more than origins plus destinations minus one, or
10 + 32 – 1 = 41.
