C) 3
D) 15

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a transportation problem with 5 supply points and 3 demand points, the number of constraints includes one for each supply point and one for each demand point. Therefore, there are 5 supply constraints plus 3 demand constraints, totaling 8 constraints.
