Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum flow from Node 1 to Node 4 is restricted by the lowest capacity pipe along the path. 
- From Node 1 to Node 2, the maximum flow can be 100.
- From Node 2 to Node 3, the maximum flow can be 150.
- From Node 3 to Node 4, the maximum flow can be 200.
Therefore, the maximum flow from Node 1 to Node 4 can only be 150, which is option B.
