Suppose that there are five young women and six young men on an island. Each woman is willing to marry some of the men on the island and each man is willing to marry any woman who is willing to marry him. Suppose that Anna is willing to marry Jason, Larry, and Matt; Barbara is willing to marry Kevin and Larry; Carol is willing to marry Jason. Nick, and Oscar; Diane is willing to marry Jason, Larry, Nick, and Oscar; and Elizabeth is willing to marry Jason and Matt.

a) Model the possible marriages on the island using a bipartite graph.

b) Find a matching of the young women and the young men on the island such that each young woman is matched with a young man whom she is willing to marry.

c) Is the matching you found in part (b) a complete matching? Is it a maximum matching?
