    QUESTION TWO

    Six salesmen are to be allotted to six sales regions so that the cost of
    allocation of the job will be minimized. Each salesman is capable of doing
    the job at different cost in each region. The cost matrix is given below:

    Region 1 2 3 4 5 6
    Salesman
    A 15 35 20 25 10 45
    B 40 15 45 20 15 20
    C 25 60 10 65 25 10
    D 25 20 35 10 25 60
    E 30 70 40 35 40 50
    F 10 25 30 40 50 15

    (a) Find the allocation to give minimum cost. What is the minimum
    cost?
    (b) If the figures given in the above table represent the earnings of
    each salesman at each region, then find an allocation to maximize
    earnings. What is the maximum earning?
