Routes & NetworkEasy
Passage / Data

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

The following sketch shows the pipelines carrying material from one location to another. Each location has a demand for material. The demand at Vaishali is 400, at Jyotishmati is 400, at Panchal is 700, and at Vidisha is 200. Each arrow indicates the direction of material flow through the pipeline. The flow from Vaishali to Jyotishmati is 300. The quantity of material flow is such that the demands at all these locations are exactly met. The capacity of each pipeline is 1000.

The free capacity available at the Avanti-Vaishali pipeline is

Answer & solution

  • A

    0

  • B

    100

  • C

    200

  • 300

Solution

From the flow diagram, we have,

Each pipeline has a capacity of 1000 and the flow in the Avanti-Vaishali pipeline is 700.

∴ Free capacity available = 1000 − 700 = 300

Hence, option (d).
