📘 Detailed Explanation of Transportation Problem
The Transportation Problem is a special type of Linear Programming Problem (LPP) that deals with the transportation of goods from several origins to several destinations in such a way that the total transportation cost is minimized while satisfying supply and demand constraints.

1️⃣ Origin and Destination
Origin (Source): Points from where goods are shipped (e.g., factories, warehouses)

Destination (Sink): Points where goods are required (e.g., retail stores, markets)

2️⃣ Supply and Demand Constraints
Each origin has a fixed amount of goods to supply.

Each destination has a fixed demand.

The problem is balanced if total supply = total demand.

If not balanced, dummy rows/columns are added to make it balanced.
