when you are talking abt starting from 1 that means that array is 1
based , right ?

Right.


111
000
000

Up-left element: 1
Choice 3: 0 (number of 0's on the first row) + 1 (number of 1's on the 
first column) = 1
Choice 4: 3 (number of 1's on the first row) + 2 (number of 0's on the 
first column) = 5

Best choice: 3,  with 1 toggle. (toggle the first row)


011
100
100

Up-left element: 0
Choice 1: 1 (number of 0's on the first row) + 1 (number of 0's on the 
first column) = 2
Choice 2: 2 (number of 1's on the first row) + 2 (number of 1's on the 
first column) = 4

Best choice: 1,  with 2 toggles. (toggle the first row and first column)


Clarification:
In choice 1 and 2, the up-left element is counted twice, ie.
   1. number of 0's on the first row and (number of 0's on the) first 
column
   2. number of 1's on the first row and (number of 1's on the) first 
column



The idea is simple:
1) toggle the first row or not?
When 1) is decided and applied,
2) toggle columns to make first row all 0.   -- the number of 1's in the 
first row (original or inverted)
3) toggle rows to make first column 0.-- the number of 1's in 
the first column (after step 2)

1. number of 0's on the first row and first column

And if we denote the j'th element on i'th row as M[i,j] (start from 1),
then the problem have valid solution if and only if:
for each element M[i,j], M[1,1]+M[1,j]+M[i,1]+M[i,j] is even.
