Graph Theory 3.6:
A group of graph theory students discusses the best meeting time for a research project. Each student has some of their preferred times: S1, S2, S3... Sn. However, they will choose at most one of the specific times. Each time slot Sn has capacity Pn. Derive a necessary and sufficient condition to accommodatly fill up all time slots (to capacity ) with those students.
Can you please solve this Q using slover for the option of having both Low capacity & high capacity. please attched the excel file

9-43. Northwest University is in the process of complet-ing a computer bus network that will connect com-puter facilities throughout the university. The prime
objective is to string a main cable from one endof the campus to the other (nodes 1–25) throughunderground conduits. These conduits are shownin the network below; the distance between them isin hundreds of feet. Fortunately, these undergroundconduits have remaining capacity through which thebus cable can be placed.(a) Given the network for this problem, how long (inhundreds of feet) is the shortest route from node1 to node 25?(b) In addition to the computer bus network, a newphone system is also being planned. The phonesystem would use the same underground conduits.
If the phone system were installed, the follow-ing paths along the conduit would be at capacity
and would not be available for the computer busnetwork: 6–11, 7–12, and 17–20. What changes(if any) would you have to make to the pathused for the computer bus if the phone…

- 1) Rane Brake Lining produces disc pads for the automobile industry. With the existing brake lathe machine, the firm utilizes five employees who produce an average of eighty disc pads per hour; each of the employees receive $10 per hour; the machine cost is $40 per hour. The firm purchased a new brake lathe machine to replace the existing brake lathe machine; this reduced the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the disc pads. With the new brake lathe machine, the firm was able to shift one of the employees to another division; the machine cost increased by $10 per hour; and the production output increased by four disc pads per hour. Calculate the labor productivity (disc pads per employee per hour) with the existing brake lathe machine, and with the new brake lathe machine.

- Baton Rouge's Mt. Cedar Hospital is a large, private, 600-bed facility complete with laboratories, operating rooms, and X-ray equipment. In seeking to increase revenues, Mt. Cedar's administration has decided to make a 90-bed addition on a portion of adjacent land currently used for staff parking. The administrators feel that the labs, operating rooms, and X-ray department are not being fully utilized at present and do not need to be expanded to handle additional patients. The addition of 90 beds, however, involves deciding how many beds should be allocated to the medical staff (for medical patients) and how many to the surgical staff (for surgical patients). The hospital's accounting and medical records departments have provided the following pertinent information. The average hospital stay for a medical patient is 8 days, and the average medical patient generates $2,280in revenues.
