HMIC 2017 Problem 4

    Let GG be a weighted bipartite graph A∪BA \cup B, with ∣A∣=∣B∣=n|A|=|B|=n. In other words, each edge in the graph is assigned a positive integer value, called its weight. Also, define the weight of a perfect matching in GG to be the sum of the weights of the edges in the matching. Let G′G^{\prime} be the graph with vertex set A∪BA \cup B, and contains the edge ee if and only if ee is part of some minimum weight perfect matching in GG. Show that all perfect matchings in G′G^{\prime} have the same weight.
