An oil company has two depots $A$ and $B$ with capacities of $7000 \, L$ and $4000 \, L$ respectively. The company is to supply oil to three petrol pumps,$D, E$ and $F$ whose requirements are $4500 \, L, 3000 \, L$ and $3500 \, L$ respectively. The distances (in $km$) between the depots and the petrol pumps are given in the following table:
From/To$A$$B$
$D$$7$$3$
$E$$6$$4$
$F$$3$$2$

Assuming that the transportation cost of $10 \, L$ of oil is $Rs. \, 1$ per $km$,how should the delivery be scheduled in order that the transportation cost is minimum? What is the minimum cost?

  • A
    $4400$
  • B
    $4500$
  • C
    $4600$
  • D
    $4700$
