The figure below shows the possible routes from city A to city M as well as the cost (in dollars) of a trip between each pair of cities (note that if no arc joins two cities, it is not possible to travel non-stop between those two cities). A traveler wishes to find the lowest cost option to travel from city A to city M. TB6.78.jpg Note: This question requires Solver. Formulate the problem in Solver and find the optimal solution. What is the minimum cost for the traveler to move from node A to node M? Group of answer choices $116 $96 $86 None of these. $76 $106 $110 $111

2. You need to take a trip by car to another town that you have never visited before. Therefore, you are studying a map to determine the route you need to choose. There are five other towns (call them A, B, C, D, E) that you might pass through on the way. The map shows the distance (in miles) along each road that directly connect two towns without any intervening towns. These numbers are summarized in the following table, where a dash indicates that there is no road directly connecting these two towns without going through any other towns. Miles between Adjacent Towns Town A B C D E Destination Origin 60 40 50 - - - A 10 - 68 - - B 20 57 40 - C - 50 - D 10 54 E 80 (a) (points: 3) Formulate this problem as a shortest-path problem by drawing a network where nodes represent towns, links represent roads, and weights on the links indicate the length of each link in miles. (b) (points: 5) Use Dijkstra's algorithm to solve the problem. Use the tabular form. Specify the optimal solution and its cost.

Given a list of cities and their pair wise distances, the task is to find a shortest possible tour that visits each city exactly once. A salesman has to visit five cities A, B, C, D and E. The distances (in hundred kilometers) between the five cities are shown in the following Table: If the salesman starts from city A and has to come back to city A. Use a new Alternate Method of an assignment problem to find out, which route should he selects so that the total distance traveled becomes minimum.
