An edge e can be (x) always full, (y) sometimes full,(z) never full; it can be (x') always crossing, (y') sometimes
crossing, (z') never crossing. So there are nine possible combinations: (xx') always full and always crossing,
(xy) always full and sometimes crossing, and so on. Or are there? Maybe some possibilities are impossible.
Let's draw a table:

Take a piece of paper, complete the 3 × 3 table below by either finding an example illustrating that the
combination is possible or by concluding that it is impossible. To do so, you will need the Max Flow Min Cut
Theorem plus a bit of your own thinking. Once you have completed the table, select which of the following
statements are true: There is…
