The Vogel's Approximation Method or VAM is an iterative procedure calculated to find out the initial feasible solution of the transportation problem.a.Trueb.Falsec.Can't sayd.None of these

The method of finding initial basic feasible solution that does not take into account the cost of transportation is:       The north west corner method       Least cost method       Vogel approximation method       None of the above

In applying Vogel’s approximation method, row and column penalties are determined by:a.finding the largest unit cost in each row or column.b.finding the smallest unit cost in each row or column.c.finding the sum of the unit costs in each row or column.d.finding the difference between the two lowest unit costs in each row and column.

For finding an initial feasible solution in transportation problem, ____________ method is used.a.Simplexb.Big-Mc.Least Cost Methodd.Hungarian

The Least Cost Method is another method used to obtain the initial feasible solution for the transportation problem. Here, the allocation begins with the cell which has the minimum cost. The lower cost cells are chosen over the higher-cost cells with the objective to have the least cost of transportation.a.Trueb.Falsec.Can't sayd.None of these
