Assume G is a $r$-regular bigraph, r$\ge$1.

Show that

a) G admits a 1-factor

b) the edge chromatic number of G is r;in other words, G can be decomposed into 1-factor.

I think I can use the Marriage theorem. Here is the definition:enter image description here

For part a), I would like to state that G has equal size of W and W', so we can produce a matching which covers the left part and the right part. Is this enought to show G admits a 1-factor?

Also, does a) and b) mean the same thing?
