Question

At Rydell High School the senior class is represented on six school committees by Annemarie (A), Gary (G), Jill (J), Kenneth (K), Michael (M), Norma (N), Paul (P), and Rosemary (R). The senior members of these committees are {A, G, J, P}, {G, J, K, R},{A, M, N, P}, {A, G, M, N, P}, (A, G, K, N, R}, and {G, K, N, R}. (a) The student government calls a meeting that requires the presence of exactly one senior member from each committee. Find a selection that maximizes the number of seniors involved. (b) Before the meeting, the finances of each committee are to be reviewed by a senior who is not on that committee. Can this be accomplished so that six different seniors are involved in this review process? If so, how?

DEFINITIONS

A matching\textbf{matching} is a subset of the edges such that no two edges have a vertex in common.

A complete matching\textbf{complete matching} from V1V_1 to V2V_2 means that every vertex from V1V_1 is the endpoint of an edge in the matching.

A bipartite graph\textbf{bipartite graph} is a simple graph whose vertices can be partitioned into two sets V1V_1 and V2V_2 such that there are no edges among the vertices of V1V_1 and no edges among the vertices of V2V_2, while there can be edges between a vertex of V1V_1 and a vertex of V2V_2.
