(a) By adding the arcs from vertex D along with their weights, complete the drawing of
the network on Diagram 1 in the answer book.
(2)
(b) Use Kruskal’s algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree for the network. You
should list the arcs in the order that you consider them. In each case, state whether
you are adding the arc to your minimum spanning tree.
(3)
(c) State the weight of the minimum spanning tree.

The network in Figure 1 shows the activities that need to be undertaken to complete
a project. Each activity is represented by an arc and the duration, in hours, of the
corresponding activity is shown in brackets.
(a) Explain why each of the dummy activities is required.
(2)
(b) Complete the table in the answer book to show the immediately preceding activities
for each activity.
(2)
(c) (i) Complete Diagram 1 in the answer book to show the early event times and the
late event times.
(ii) State the minimum completion time for the project.
(iii) State the critical activities.
(6)
Each activity requires one worker. Each worker is able to do any of the activities. Once
an activity is started it must be completed without interruption.
(d) On Grid 1 in the answer book, draw a resource histogram to show the number of workers
required at each time when each activity begins at its earliest possible start time.
(3)
(e) Determine whether or not the project can be completed in the minimum possible time
using fewer workers than the number indicated by the resource histogram in (d). You
must justify your answer with reference to the resource histogram and the completed
Diagram 1.

Figure 2
Direct roads between five villages, A, B, C, D and E, are shown in Figure 2. The weight
on each arc is the time, in minutes, it takes to travel along the corresponding road. The
road from D to C is one-way as indicated by the arrow on the corresponding arc.
Floyd’s algorithm is to be used to find the complete network of shortest times between
the five villages.
(a) Set up initial time and route matrices.
(2)
The matrices after two iterations of Floyd’s algorithm are shown below.
(b) Perform the next two iterations of Floyd’s algorithm that follow from the tables
above. You should show the time and route matrices after each iteration.
(4)
The final time matrix after completion of Floyd’s algorithm is shown below.

(c) (i) Use the nearest neighbour algorithm, starting at A, to find a Hamiltonian cycle in
the complete network of shortest times.
(ii) Find the time taken for this cycle.
(iii) Interpret the cycle in terms of the actual villages visited.

5. The nine distinct numbers in the following list are to be packed into bins of size 50
23 17 19 x 24 8 18 10 21
When the first-fit bin packing algorithm is applied to the numbers in the list it results in
the following allocation.
Bin 1: 23 17 8
Bin 2: 19 x 10
Bin 3: 24 18
Bin 4: 21
(a) Explain why 13 < x < 21
(3)
The same list of numbers is to be sorted into descending order. A bubble sort, starting at
the left-hand end of the list, is to be used to obtain the sorted list. After the first complete
pass the list is
23 19 17 24 x 18 10 21 8
(b) Using this information, write down the smallest interval that must contain x, giving
your answer as an inequality.
(2)
When the first-fit decreasing bin packing algorithm is applied to the nine distinct
numbers it results in the following allocation.
Bin 1: 24 23
Bin 2: 21 19 10
Bin 3: 18 17 x
Bin 4: 8
Given that only one of the bins is full and that x is an integer,
(c) calculate the value of x. You must give reasons for your answer.
