Solution
| I | II | III | IV | |
| A | 2 | 10 | 9 | 7 |
| B | 13 | 2 | 12 | 2 |
| C | 3 | 4 | 6 | 1 |
| D | 4 | 15 | 4 | 9 |
Subtracting minimum element from each row,
we have
| I | II | III | IV | |
| A | 0 | 8 | 7 | 5 |
| B | 11 | 0 | 10 | 0 |
| C | 2 | 3 | 5 | 0 |
| D | 0 | 11 | 0 | 5 |
Subtracting minimum element from each
Column, we have
| I | II | III | IV | |
| A | 0 | 8 | 7 | 5 |
| B | 11 | 0 | 10 | 0 |
| C | 2 | 3 | 5 | 0 |
| D | 0 | 11 | 0 | 5 |
Hence A → I, B → II, C → IV, D → III
Minimum value is 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 9
