There are two factories located at place $P$ and place $Q$. From these locations,a certain commodity is to be delivered to each of the three depots situated at $A, B$ and $C$. The weekly requirements of the depots are $5, 5$ and $4$ units respectively,while the production capacities of the factories at $P$ and $Q$ are $8$ and $6$ units respectively. The cost of transportation per unit is given below:
From/To$A$$B$$C$
$P$$160$$100$$150$
$Q$$100$$120$$100$

How many units should be transported from each factory to each depot in order that the transportation cost is minimum? What will be the minimum transportation cost?

  • A
    $1550$
  • B
    $1600$
  • C
    $1650$
