उत्तर

Step 1: Subtract the smallest element of each row from the every element of that row.

Packing Books Toys Crockery Cutlery
Workers
A 0 8 7 5
B 11 0 10 0
C 2 3 5 0
D 0 11 0 5

Step 2: Since each column contains minimum element 0, subtracting it from every element of each column will given the same table as above.

Step 3: Drawing horizontal and vertical lines to cover all zeros.

Packing Books Toys Crockery Cutlery
Workers
A 0 0 7 5
B 11 0 10 0
C 2 3 5 0
D 0 11 0 5

Step 4: Number of horizontal lines (4) = order of matrix (4), optimal solution has reached.

Assigning through zeroes, we get

Packing Books Toys Crockery Cutlery
Workers
A `bb(0)` 8 7 5
B 11 `bb(0)` 10 `bb(cancel(0))`
C 2 3 5 `bb(0)`
D `bb(cancel(0))` 11 `bb(0)` 5

∴ Optimal Assignment schedule: A → Books

B → Bays, C → Cutlery, D → Crockery

Total minimum Time = 3 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 10 min
