Deterministic Operation Research Model Question please help
Deterministic Operation Research Model Question, please help! And I\'m using LINDO
Before leaving for the holiday you wish to backup your most important files onto CDs. These files have sizes 240, 462, 117, 560, 379, 110, 341, 294, 503, 469, 90, 63, 617, 493, 524, and 396MB. If the capacity of a CD is 780MB, formulate and solve a model to determine the minimum number of CDs needed to save all the files.
Solution
Sizes of files = 240, 462, 117, 560, 379, 110, 341, 294, 503, 469, 90, 63, 617, 493, 524, 396MB
Total sum = 5658
Each Cd has capacity = 780 MB
63,90,110,117,240,294,341,379,396,462,469,493,503,524,560,617 is ascending order.
If partial data cannot be stored in a Cd, to put maximum usage we have to take as
617, 90, 63 in one Cd (total 770) (so that min wastage of 10 mb in one cd)
Likewise (560,110 ) in one cd (total 670)
iii)(524,240)
iv) (469,294)
v) (503,117)
vi) (341,396)
vii)379, viii)462 ix ) 493
Totally 9 Cds are required in minimum.
