\end{figure} Dijkstra's algorithm has been applied to the network in Figure 2.
A working value has only been replaced at a node if the new working value is smaller.
  1. State the length of the shortest path from A to G .
  2. Complete the table in the answer book giving the weight of each arc listed. (Note that arc CE and arc EF are not in the table.)
  3. State the shortest path from A to G. It is now given that
    • when Prim's algorithm, starting from A, is applied to the network, the order in which the arcs are added to the tree is \(\mathrm { AB } , \mathrm { BC } , \mathrm { CD } , \mathrm { CE } , \mathrm { EF }\) and FG
    • the weight of the corresponding minimum spanning tree is 80
    • the shortest path from A to F via E has weight 67
    • Determine the weight of arc CE and the weight of arc EF , making your reasoning clear.
