\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a capacitated, directed network of pipes. The number on each arc represents the capacity of the corresponding pipe. The numbers in circles represent a feasible flow from S to T.
  1. State the value of this flow.
    (1)
  2. Explain why arcs CD and CG cannot both be saturated.
    (1)
  3. Find the capacity of
    1. cut \(C _ { 1 }\)
    2. cut \(C _ { 2 }\)
  4. Write down a flow augmenting route of weight 6 which saturates BF. The flow augmenting route in part (d) is applied to give an increased flow.
  5. Prove that this increased flow is maximal.
