5(b) Let the adjacency matrix for a graph of four vertices {n1 to n4} be as follows:

Calculate the authority and hub scores for this graph using the HITS algorithm with k=6, and identify the best authority and hub nodes.\[A=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1\\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\]
