Figure 1

Figure 2

Figure 1 shows the possible allocations of six workers, A, B, C, D, E and F, to six


tasks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Figure 2 shows an initial matching.
(a) Starting from this initial matching, use the maximum matching algorithm to find an improved
matching. You must list the alternating path used and state your improved matching.
(2)
(b) Explain why it is not possible to find a complete matching.
(1)
Now, exactly one worker may be trained so that a complete matching becomes possible.
Either worker A can be trained to do task 1 or worker E can be trained to do task 4.
(c) Decide which worker, A or E, should be trained. Give a reason for your answer.
(2)
You may now assume that the worker you identified in (c) has been trained.
(d) Starting from the improved matching found in (a), use the maximum matching algorithm to
find a complete matching. You must list the alternating path used and state your complete
matching.

(d) Use Kruskals algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree for the network. You should list the
arcs in the order that you consider them. In each case, state whether you are adding the arc to
your minimum spanning tree.
(3)
(e) State the weight of the minimum spanning tree.

The list is to be sorted into descending order.
(b) (i) Starting at the left-hand end of the list, perform two passes through the list using a bubble
sort. Write down the state of the list that results at the end of each pass.
(ii) Write down the total number of comparisons and the total number of swaps performed
during your two passes.

(d) Use the first-fit decreasing bin packing algorithm to determine how the numbers listed can be
packed into bins of size 33

Figure 3
[The total weight of the network is 196]
Figure 3 models a network of roads. The number on each edge gives the time, in minutes, taken to
travel along that road. Oliver wishes to travel by road from A to K as quickly as possible.
(a) Use Dijkstras algorithm to find the shortest time needed to travel from A to K. State the
quickest route.
(6)
On a particular day Oliver must travel from B to K via A.
(b) Find a route of minimal time from B to K that includes A, and state its length.
(2)
Oliver needs to travel along each road to check that it is in good repair. He wishes to minimise the
total time required to traverse the network.
(c) Use the route inspection algorithm to find the shortest time needed. You must state all
combinations of edges that Oliver could repeat, making your method and working clear.

A linear programming problem in x and y is described as follows.


Maximise P = 5x + 3y
subject to: x . 3
x+y-9
15x + 22y - 165
26x 50y - 325
(a) Add lines and shading to Diagram 1 in the answer book to represent these constraints. Hence
determine the feasible region and label it R.
(4)
(b) Use the objective line method to find the optimal vertex, V, of the feasible region. You must
draw and label your objective line and label vertex V clearly.
(2)
(c) Calculate the exact coordinates of vertex V and hence calculate the corresponding value
of P at V.
(3)
The objective is now to minimise 5x + 3y, where x and y are integers.
(d) Write down the minimum value of 5x + 3y and the corresponding value of x and corresponding
value of y.
