6. What do you mean by an unbalanced Transportation Problem? (or) How to resolve
unbalanced Transportation problem?
7. What are the conditions to do optimality test in transportation problem? Why should these
conditions be satisfied?
8. Write the mathematical model of transportation problem.
9. Write the mathematical model of assignment problem. (or) Is Assignment model special case
of Transportation model? Justify.
10. How do you solve Travelling salesman problem?
It is solved by using Hungarian or Branch and Bound approach.
11. What are the extra constraints should be satisfied for Travelling salesman problem?
12. What are the optimality criteria should be satisfied for assignment problem?
Minimum number of lines crossing all zeros is equal to the order of the matrix, then it is an
optimal solution.
