Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of constraints in a transshipment problem's linear programming formulation includes the supply constraints at the origins, the demand constraints at the destinations, and the balance constraints at the intermediate points. With 3 origins, 2 intermediate points, and 4 destinations, we have 3 supply constraints, 4 demand constraints, and 2 balance constraints, totaling 9 constraints.
