An assignment for the operations research course (mth601) focusing on the transportation problem. The assignment includes instructions, due date, and three questions. The first question investigates how an optimal solution to a transportation problem changes when a constant is added to each cost in one row or one column. The second question involves finding the allocation with minimum transportation cost for a company with three plants and three warehouses. The third question requires solving a problem to minimize the total cost for a manufacturing company assigning 6 machines to 5 jobs. Students are expected to have a good understanding of the concepts learned in lectures 31-37 and use recommended books for clarification.

to each cost in (i) one row say r th row (ii) one column say k th column? By how much is the optimal value of the objective function changed?
2) A company has three plants A,B and C, and three ware houses X, Y and Z. The number of units available at the plants is 60, 70 and 80 and the demand at X, Y and Z are 50, and 80 respectively. The unit cost of the transportation is given as follow:
Find the allocation so that the total transportation cost is minimum.
3) Solve the following problem whose objective is to minimize the total cost, when a manufacturing company has to face assigning 6 different machines to 5 different jobs.
