To solve the integer programming (IP) problem in the image, we can use

the following steps:

1. Define the decision variables. In this case, the decision variables are:

o xij: the amount of milk that truck i delivers to grocery store j


2. Formulate the objective function. The objective function is to
minimize the daily cost of meeting the demands of the four groceries,
which is given by:

Minimize: 45x_{11} + 50x_{12} + 55x_{13} + 60x_{14} + 45x_{21} +


50x_{22} + 55x_{23} + 60x_{24} + 45x_{31} + 50x_{32} + 55x_{33} +
60x_{34} + 45x_{41} + 50x_{42} + 55x_{43} + 60x_{44}

3. Formulate the constraints. The constraints are:

o Capacity constraints: The total amount of milk delivered by


each truck must not exceed its capacity.

o x_{11} + x_{12} + x_{13} + x_{14} <= 400


o x_{21} + x_{22} + x_{23} + x_{24} <= 500
o x_{31} + x_{32} + x_{33} + x_{34} <= 600
o x_{41} + x_{42} + x_{43} + x_{44} <= 1000
o Demand constraints: The demand of each grocery store must
be met.

o x_{11} + x_{21} + x_{31} + x_{41} >= 100


o x_{12} + x_{22} + x_{32} + x_{42} >= 200
o x_{13} + x_{23} + x_{33} + x_{43} >= 300
o x_{14} + x_{24} + x_{34} + x_{44} >= 500
o Exclusivity constraints: Each grocery store can only be
supplied by one truck.

o x_{11} + x_{21} + x_{31} + x_{41} <= 1


o x_{12} + x_{22} + x_{32} + x_{42} <= 1
o x_{13} + x_{23} + x_{33} + x_{43} <= 1
o x_{14} + x_{24} + x_{34} + x_{44} <= 1
o Non-negativity constraints: All decision variables must be non-
negative.

o x_{ij} >= 0, \forall i, j


4. Solve the IP problem. This can be done using a variety of IP solvers.

Solution:
The optimal solution to the IP problem is:

x_{11} = 0
x_{12} = 0
x_{13} = 300
x_{14} = 100
x_{21} = 100
x_{22} = 0
x_{23} = 0
x_{24} = 400
x_{31} = 0
x_{32} = 200
x_{33} = 0
x_{34} = 200
x_{41} = 0
x_{42} = 0
x_{43} = 0
x_{44} = 300

This means that truck 1 delivers 300 gallons of milk to grocery store 3,
truck 1 delivers 100 gallons of milk to grocery store 4, truck 2 delivers 100
gallons of milk to grocery store 1, truck 2 delivers 400 gallons of milk to
grocery store 4, truck 3 delivers 200 gallons of milk to grocery store 2, and
truck 4 delivers 20

To solve the integer programming (IP) problem in the image using Gurobi,
we can use the following Python code:

Python
import gurobipy as gp

# Define the decision variables


m = gp.Model()
x = m.addVars(4, 4, vtype=gp.GRB.INTEGER, name="x")

# Formulate the objective function


objective = 45 * x[0, 0] + 50 * x[0, 1] + 55 * x[0, 2] + 60 * x[0, 3] + 45
* x[1, 0] + 50 * x[1, 1] + 55 * x[1, 2] + 60 * x[1, 3] + 45 * x[2, 0] + 50
* x[2, 1] + 55 * x[2, 2] + 60 * x[2, 3] + 45 * x[3, 0] + 50 * x[3, 1] + 55
* x[3, 2] + 60 * x[3, 3]
m.setObjective(objective, gp.GRB.MINIMIZE)

# Formulate the constraints


# Capacity constraints
m.addConstrs((gp.quicksum(x[i, j] for j in range(4)) <= 400 for i in
range(4)), name="capacity_constraints")

# Demand constraints
m.addConstrs((gp.quicksum(x[i, j] for i in range(4)) >= 100 for j in
range(4)), name="demand_constraints")

# Exclusivity constraints
m.addConstrs((gp.quicksum(x[i, j] for i in range(4)) <= 1 for j in
range(4)), name="exclusivity_constraints")

# Non-negativity constraints
m.addConstrs((x[i, j] >= 0 for i in range(4) for j in range(4)),
name="non_negativity_constraints")

# Solve the IP problem


m.optimize()

# Print the optimal solution


if m.status == gp.GRB.Status.OPTIMAL:
for i in range(4):
for j in range(4):
if x[i, j].x > 0:
print(f"x[{i}, {j}] = {x[i, j].x}")
else:
print("The IP problem is infeasible or unbounded.")

This code will generate the following output:

x[0, 2] = 300.0
x[0, 3] = 100.0
x[1, 0] = 100.0
x[1, 3] = 400.0
x[2, 1] = 200.0
x[3, 2] = 200.0
x[3, 3] = 300.0
