The table represents a network that shows the time taken, in minutes, to travel by car between eight
villages, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
(a) Use Prims algorithm, starting at A, to find a minimum spanning tree for this network. You
must list the arcs that form your tree in the order in which you select them.
(3)
(b) Draw your minimum spanning tree using the vertices given in Diagram 1 in the answer book
and state the weight of the tree.
(2)
(c) State whether your minimum spanning tree is unique. Justify your answer.

Figure 3
[The total weight of the network is 100]
Figure 3 represents a network of pipes in a building. The number on each arc represents the length,
in metres, of the corresponding pipe.
(a) Use Dijkstras algorithm to find the shortest path from A to J. State your path and its length.
(6)
On a particular day Kim needs to check each pipe. A route of minimum length, which traverses
each pipe at least once and starts and finishes at A, needs to be found.
(b) Use an appropriate algorithm to find the arcs that will need to be traversed twice. You must
make your method and working clear.
(5)
(c) Write down a possible route, giving its length.
(2)
All the pipes directly attached to B are removed. Kim needs to check all the remaining pipes and
may now start at any vertex and finish at any vertex. A route is required that excludes all those
pipes directly attached to B.
(d) State all possible combinations of starting and finishing points so that the length of Kims route
is minimised. State the length of Kims route.

Jonathan is going to make hats to sell at a fete. He can make red hats and green hats. Jonathan can
use linear programming to determine the number of each colour of hat that he should make.
Let x be the number of red hats he makes and y be the number of green hats he makes.
One of the constraints is that there must be at least 30 hats.
(a) Write down an inequality, in terms of x and y, to model this constraint.
(1)
Two further constraints are

2y + x .
40
2 y x .
30

(b) Write down two more constraints which apply.

(1)
(c) Represent all these constraints on Diagram 1 in the answer book. Hence determine, and label,
the feasible region R.
(4)
The cost of making a green hat is three times the cost of making a red hat. Jonathan wishes to
minimise the total cost.
(d) Use the objective line (ruler) method to determine the number of red hats and number of green
hats that Jonathan should make. You must clearly draw and label your objective line.
(3)
Given that the minimum total cost of making the hats is 107.50
(e) determine the cost of making one green hat and the cost of making one red hat. You must make
your method clear.

Figure 4
[The sum of all the activity durations is 99 days]
The network in Figure 4 shows the activities that need to be undertaken to complete a project. Each
activity is represented by an arc and the duration of the activity, in days, is shown in brackets. The
early event times and late event times are to be shown at each vertex and some have been completed
for you.
Given that activity F is a critical activity and that the total float on activity G is 2 days,
(a) write down the value of x and the value of y,

(2)

(b) calculate the missing early event times and late event times and hence complete Diagram 1 in
your answer book.
(3)
Each activity requires one worker and the project must be completed in the shortest possible time.
(c) Calculate a lower bound for the number of workers needed to complete the project in the
shortest possible time.
(1)
(d) Draw a cascade (Gantt) chart for this project on Grid 1 in the answer book.

(4)

(e) Use your cascade chart to determine the minimum number of workers needed to complete the
project in the shortest possible time. You must make specific reference to times and activities.
(You do not need to provide a schedule of the activities.)
