An oil company has two depots A and B with capacities of 7000 L and 4000 L respectively. The company is to supply oil to three petrol pumps, D, E and F whose requirements are 4500L, 3000L and 3500 L respectively, the distances(in km) between the depots and the petrol pumps is given in the following table:

Assuming that the transportation cost of 10 litres of oil is 1 per km, how should the delivery be scheduled in order that the transportation cost is minimum? What is the minimum cost?
