[#141] During an iteration while moving from one solution to the next, degeneracy may occur when.
Correct Answer
(C) Two or more occupied cells on the closed path with minus sign are tied for lowest circled value
Explanation
Solution: During an iteration while moving from one solution to the next, degeneracy may occur when two or more occupied cells on the closed path with minus sign are tied for lowest circled value
[#142] The large negative opportunity cost value in an unused cell in a transportation table is chosen to improve the current solution because.
Correct Answer
(A) It represents per unit cost reduction
Explanation
Solution: The large negative opportunity cost value in an unused cell in a transportation table is chosen to improve the current solution because it represents per unit cost reduction.
[#143] The smallest quantity is chosen at the corners of the closed path with negative sign to be assigned at unused cell because.
Correct Answer
(C) It ensure feasible solution
Explanation
Solution: The smallest quantity is chosen at the corners of the closed path with negative sign to be assigned at unused cell because it ensure feasible solution.
[#144] When total supply is equal to total demand in a transportation problem, the problem is said to be?
Correct Answer
(A) Balanced
Explanation
Solution: The total supply available at the plants exactly matches the total demand at the destinations, such type of problems where supply and demand are exactly equal are known as Balanced Transportation Problem.
[#145] Which of the following methods is used to verify the optimality of the current solution of the transportation problem?
Correct Answer
(C) Modified distribution method
Explanation
Solution: Modified distribution method (MODI) is used to verify the optimality of the current solution of the transportation problem.
