Question 1

Can you solve the eight queens problem with 2 queens on a 2x2 board?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the attack paths of each queen.

Question 2

How does the backtracking algorithm help in solving the N Queens problem?

  • It randomly places queens.
  • It ensures all options are exhausted systematically.
  • It never allows backtracking.
  • It solves only for N=8.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the nature of backtracking.
