  1. When investigating three network flow problems, a student finds:
    1. a flow of 50 and a cut with capacity 50 ;
    2. a flow of 35 and a cut with capacity 50 ;
    3. a flow of 50 and a cut with capacity 35 . In each case, write down what the student can deduce about the maximum flow.
  2. The diagram below shows a network. The numbers on the arcs represent the minimum and maximum flow along each arc respectively. By considering the flow at an appropriate vertex, explain why a flow is not possible through this network.
