The above problem is of maximization type

To convert it into minimization

By applying Hungarian Method

1.

250 200 80 100
150 100 300 250
0 125 100 150
100 150 80 200

Applying row operation

2.

170 120 0 20
50 0 200 150
0 125 100 150
20 70 0 120

Applying Column operation and assignment

Priority from left to right and top to bottom

3.

170 120 0  
50 0    
0 125    
20 70 100 130
      100

No of assignment ≠ Size of Matrix

Therefore we change the priority of solutions taking Priority Right to Left and top to bottom

4.

170 120 0 0
50 0 300 130
0 125 100 130
20 70 100 130

Therefore Number of assignments = size of the Matrix

The given below solution is Optimal

3.

Salesman District Sales
1 D 400
2 B 400
3 A 500
4 C 420

Total Sales = 1720 Units
