| Q. |
Which of the following methods is used to verify the optimality of the current solution of the transportation problem |
| A. | least cost method |
| B. | vogel’s approximation method |
| C. | modified distribution method |
| D. | all of the above |
| Answer» C. modified distribution method | |
| Explanation: The Modified Distribution Method (MODI), also known as the UV method, is used to check the optimality of the current solution in a transportation problem. The least cost method and Vogel’s approximation method are used to find an initial feasible solution but do not verify optimality. | |
