Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a graph with vertices A, B, C, and D and edges with weights AB: 1, AC: 4, BD: 3, CD: 2, demonstrate the application of Kruskal's algorithm step by step.

💡 Hint: Visualize each step, keeping an eye on what edges you can add.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where an edge in Kruskal's algorithm with the lowest weight forms a cycle. How would the algorithm proceed?

💡 Hint: Think about the conditions necessary for an edge to be part of the tree.
