Question: Consider the following branch and bound tree ( minimization problem of MILP ) , i - What is the tightest lower and upper bound found

Consider the following branch and bound tree (minimization problem of MILP),
i- What is the tightest lower and upper bound found so far?
ii-, Which nodes can be pruned and which must be explored further?
Note: Next to each node, the upper value represents the value of the objective function if the solution
of the relaxation is feasible in the original problem. Also, the lower value represents the value of the
objective function when solving the relaxation associated to the node.
