then it indicates a prohibited route
as in case of assignment
either it ll be minimisations of cost or maximisation of profit
but when there is a blank
it indicates prohibited route n indicates a high cost

Hi Vidya,

Q: A travelling salesman has to visit 5 cities. He wishes to start from a particular city, visit each city once and then return to his starting point. The travelling cost for each city from a particular city is given below:
to city
from city A B C D E
A - 4 7 3 4
B 4 - 6 3 4
C 7 6 - 7 5
D 3 3 7 - 7

What is the sequence of the visit of the salesman, so that the cost is optimal?
