Question: Develop a linear programming model that can be used to find the minimum time required to make a delivery from location 1 to location 6

Develop a linear programming model that can be used to find the minimum time required to make a delivery from location 1 to location 6.(Express your answers in the form xij, where each xij represents the arc from node i to node j as either 1 or 0.).
a) Min 35X12+30X13+...? Complete the rest of the model.
b) What are the nodes 1 through 6 flows? [state each node flows individually[list flow-in and flow-out for each node].
How long (in minutes) does it take to make a delivery from location 1 to location 6?(Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
c)Assume that it is now 1:00 p.m. and that CARD just received a request for a pickup at location 1. The closest CARD courier is 8 minutes away from location 1. If CARD provides a 20% safety margin in guaranteeing a delivery time, what is the minimum guaranteed delivery time if the package picked up at location 1 is to be delivered to location 6?(Enter your answer in standard time. Round your answer to the nearest minute.)
