TypeAssignment/allocation matching problems

1 Six people, \(A , B , C , D , E\) and \(F\), are to be allocated to six tasks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The following bipartite graph shows the tasks that each of the people is able to undertake.

  1. Represent this information in an adjacency matrix.
  2. Initially, \(B\) is assigned to task 5, \(D\) to task 2, \(E\) to task 4 and \(F\) to task 3. Demonstrate, by using an algorithm from this initial matching, how each person can be allocated to a task.
