Table 9-3
To demonstrate the personal touch that is part of the Apple experience, Tim Cook decides to personally deliver the first iCar produced in San Jose to the customer's home in Nashville.In order to minimize the carbon footprint, he decides to push the car rather than actually driving it, and since his time is valuable, he wants to choose the shortest route possible.Fortunately, the first genius he talks to at The Genius Bar is able to determine the drive times between cities Tim might pass through along the way to Nashville.The cities and drive times are shown in the table - the push time is assumed to be a direct multiple of the drive time, which will act as a surrogate to keep the numbers low.

-What is the shortest route that uses three stops in between the San Jose and Nashville end points based on the information given in Table 9-3?

A) 40.55 hours
B) 41.85 hours
C) 41.43 hours
