A company has three mines at locations A, B and C, which supply coal to power plants at D, E, F and G. Mines A, B and C produce 1800 t/day, 1700 t/day, and 2900 t/day respectively. Daily raw coal requirements at the power plants D, E, F and G from these mines are 2050 t, 1600 t, 1300 t, and 1450 t respectively. Unit transportation costs are as follows:
Mines ↓ Power Plants
D E F G
A 3.5 4.0 2.5 5.5
B 4.5 3.7 6.0 4.7
C 4.2 3.8 5.2 2.9
The company has to minimize the total cost of transportation to the power plants. The problem is

A mining company has three mines (MI, M2 and M3) that supply coal to three power plants (P1, P2 and P3). The three mines produce 900. 1000 and 1200 te of coal per day respectively. The power plant requirements from these three mines are 1200. 1000 and 900 te per day respectively. The unit cost of transporting coal from the three mines to the three power plants in Rs. is given below
Power Plants
P1 P2 P3
Mines M1 8 10 12
M2 12 13 12
M3 14 10 11
