Problem can be represented as
          Minimise z = 16x + 20y
          st x + 2y 10
          2x + 2y 12 or x + y 16
          3x + y 8
          x 0, y 0

To/From	A	B
D E F	7 6 3	3 4 2

Assuming that transportation cost of 10 of oil is Re 1.

Corner Points
A(3500, 0) B(4500, 0) C(4500, 2500) D(4000, 3000) E(500, 3000)	z = 5000 z = 5300 z = 5550 z = 5450 z = 4400

Hence, minimum cost is Rs 4400, when
from depot A, 5000 is transported to D
3000 is transported to E
3500 is transported to F
from depot B 4000 is transported to D
