,1. Four workers, A, B, C and D, are to be assigned to four tasks, 1, 2, 3
and 4. Each task must be assigned to just one worker and each
worker must do only one task.
The cost of assigning each worker to each task is shown in
the table below. The total cost is to be minimised.

(a) Reducing rows first, use the Hungarian algorithm to obtain an
allocation that minimises the total cost. You must make your
method clear and show the table after each stage.

Figure 1
Figure 1 shows a capacitated, directed network of pipes. The
uncircled number on each arc represents the capacity of the
corresponding pipe. The numbers in circles represent an initial flow.
(a) List the saturated arcs.
(1)
(b) State the value of the initial flow.
(1)
(c) Explain why arc FT cannot be full to capacity.
(1)
(d) State the capacity of cut C1 and the capacity of cut C2
(2)
(e) By inspection find one flow-augmenting route to increase the
flow by three units. You must state your route.
(1)
(f) Prove that, once the flow-augmenting route found in part (e) has
been applied, the flow is maximal.
