Figure 2

Direct roads between five villages, A, B, C, D and E, are represented in Figure 2. The
weight on each arc is the time, in minutes, required to travel along the corresponding
road. Floyd’s algorithm is to be used to find the complete network of shortest times
between the five villages.

(e) For the network represented in Figure 2, complete the initial time matrix in the
answer book.

The time matrix after four iterations of Floyd’s algorithm is shown in Table 1.
