The coordinator of the placement cell has received many applications of students applying in different companies. There are M students and N companies who are offering jobs. Each student is interested in a particular number of companies for a job. Each job opening can only accept one student and a student can only have 1 job. As a placement coordinator, you want to place a maximum number of students.

Your task is to find the maximum number of students that can be placed in one of their desired jobs

The data about the set of favourable jobs are given in the form of an M * N binary matrix named ‘mat’, i.e for M students we have M rows each having N integers. Now for example if the first candidate is interested in job1 the value of mat[i][j] will be 1 otherwise it will be 0.

Note:
It is possible that a single candidate is interested in multiple jobs but he can take up only one of the job out of his favourable jobs, also there is no priority in jobs, i.e all favourable jobs are equally favourable to the candidate

You have been given a gold mine represented by a 2-d matrix of size ('N' * 'M') 'N' rows and 'M' columns. Each field/cell in this mine contains a positive integer, the amount of gold in kgs.

Initially, the miner is at the first column but can be at any row.

He can move only right, right up, or right down. That is from a given cell and the miner can move to the cell diagonally up towards the right or right or diagonally down towards the right.

Find out the maximum amount of gold he can collect.

Ninjaland is a country having 'N' states numbered from 1 to 'N'. These 'N' states are connected by 'M' bidirectional roads. Each road connects to different states and has some cost to travel from one state to another. Now, the chief wants you to select 'N' - 1 roads in such a way that the tourist bus can travel to every state at least once at minimum 'COST'.

For example :
Consider a country having 4 states numbered from 1 to 4. These 4 states are connected by 5 bidirectional roads given as :
1 --- 2 with cost = 8
2 --- 3 with cost = 6
3 --- 4 with cost = 5
1 --- 4 with cost = 2
1 --- 3 with cost = 4

The map of the country can be represented as:

Now, the best way to choose 3 roads is:

The cost of travelling from any state to all other states is  2 + 4 + 6 i.e. 12.
