6. Three workers, \(\mathrm { P } , \mathrm { Q }\) and R , are to be assigned to three tasks, A, B and C. Each worker must be assigned to just one task and each task must be assigned to just one worker.
Table 1 shows the cost of using each worker for each task. The total cost is to be minimised.
\begin{table}[h]
| Task A | Task B | Task C |
| Worker P | 27 | 31 | 25 |
| Worker Q | 26 | 30 | 34 |
| Worker R | 35 | 29 | 32 |

\end{table}
- Formulate the above situation as a linear programming problem. You must define your decision variables and make the objective and constraints clear.
You are not required to solve the problem.
Table 2 shows the profit gained by using each worker for each task. The total profit is to be maximised.
\begin{table}[h]
| Task A | Task B | Task C |
| Worker P | 33 | 37 | 31 |
| Worker Q | 32 | 36 | 40 |
| Worker R | 41 | 35 | 38 |

\caption{Table 2}
\end{table} - Modify Table 2 in the answer book so that the Hungarian Algorithm could be used to find the maximum total profit. You are not required to solve the problem.
