Now reconsider the problem 2 where we assume that all suppliers (plants) directly transport their automobiles to destinations (markets) and the transportation cost was calculated for each individual automobile since we calculated total travel distance for all automobiles. In other words, it was assumed that each individual automobile is transported separately. Since this is very unrealistic, we reformulated the problem again. Now we assume that one track can transport up to 20 automobiles. Therefore, it could significantly reduce the transportation cost. Based on this new assumption, solve the problem 2 again. Is there any difference in the resulting solutions compared to the original solution in question 2

    Answer: I see an incomplete question here

    Explanation:

    The first solution considered the individual cost of transporting the automobiles from the plant to the market while in the second solution, they considered the cost of transporting the automobiles in a group of 20 using trucks. There will be substantial difference between the two solutions. The cost of transportation is expected to reduce by (19/20) % or 95 percent
