Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A graph has vertices A, B, C, D, and edges (A-B: 1), (A-C: 3), (B-C: 2), (C-D: 4). Walk through Kruskal's algorithm to find the MST.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to what happens when you try to add edges.
Assuming a graph is fully connected with edge weights 1, 2, 3, and 4. If vertices are A, B, C, and D, find the weights of edges in the minimum spanning tree after applying Kruskal's Algorithm.
💡 Hint: Count edges and vertices carefully, and remember to avoid cycles.
