\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a capacitated, directed network. The unbracketed number on each arc indicates the capacity of that arc, and the numbers in brackets show a feasible flow of value 68 through the network.
  1. Add a supersource and a supersink, and arcs of appropriate capacity, to Diagram 2 in the answer booklet.
  2. Find the values of \(x\) and \(y\), explaining your method briefly.
  3. Find the value of cuts \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\). Starting with the given feasible flow of 68,
  4. use the labelling procedure on Diagram 3 to find a maximal flow through this network. List each flow-augmenting route you use, together with its flow.
  5. Show your maximal flow on Diagram 4 and state its value.
  6. Prove that your flow is maximal.
