120 prefer X (Group 1);
80 prefer Y (Group 2).
City Y needs 150 people: let all 80 who prefer Y (entire Group 2) be relocated there, the rest 70 will be those who prefer X from Group 1;
City X needs 50 people: 120-70=50 from Group 1 will be relocated to X, which they prefer.
So, the highest possible number of employees who will be relocated to the city they prefer is 80+50=130.
