    The graph above shows the cost of each train line. A postman has to deliver mail to all cities.

    1. By using the deleted vertex algorithm, deleting ​F, find a lower bound for the amount of money that the postman has to pay if he takes the train.

      [5]
    2. By using the nearest neighbor algorithm, starting at ​F, find an upper bound for the amount of money that the postman has to pay if he takes the train.

      [3]
    3. Explain how one might improve these upper and lower bounds.
