9. (a) A company manufactures air-coolers has two plants located at Mumbai and
Calcutta with a weekly capacity of 200 units and 100 units, respectively.
The company supplies air-coolers to its 4 showrooms situated at Ranchi,
Delhi, Lucknow and Kanpur which have a demand of 75,100, 100 and 30
units, respectively. The cost of transportation per unit (in Rs.) is shown in
the following table :
Ranchi Delhi Lucknow Kanpur

transportation.

(b) Assume that the coal-wagons are coming in a yard at the rate of 30 wagons
per day and suppose that inter-arrival times follow an exponential
distribution. The service time for each wagon is assumed to be exponential
with an average of 36 minutes. If the yard can admit 9 wagons at a time
(there being 10 lines, one of which is reserved for shunting purposes),
calculate the probability that the yard is empty and find the average queue
length.
