The objective of Tranportation Problem is to find out the schedule of transportation i.e which factory should transport the quantities to which destinations so that the overall transportation cost should be minimum.

O R is not a subject which can be learnt by taking online help advices & guidances. I prsonally advice you go for some coaching in OR & it would be very helpful
