Detailed Solution for Routes & Network - Question 10


There are six possibilities to visit clients and return to pali.

(1) Pali - Neli - Seli - Teli - Pali

Distance = 31 Km + 26 Km + 18 Km + 20 Km = 95 Km

(2) Pali - Neli - Teli - Seli - Pali

Distance = 31 Km + 16 Km + 18 Km + 22 Km = 87 Km

(3) Pali - Teli - Neli - Seli - Pali

Distance = 20 Km + 16 Km + 26 Km + 22 Km = 84 Km

(4) Pali - Teli - Seli - Neli - Pali

Distance = 20 Km + 18 Km + 26 Km + 31 Km = 95 Km

(5) Pali - Seli - Neli - Teli - Pali

Distance = 22 Km + 26 Km + 16 Km + 20 Km = 84 Km

(6) Pali - Seli - Teli - Neli - Pali

Distance = 22 Km + 18 Km + 16 Km + 31 Km = 87 Km
