Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a graph with vertices A, B, C, and D and edges (A-B, 3), (A-C, 4), (B-D, 5), (C-D, 1), determine the Minimum Cost Spanning Tree and justify your edges.

💡 Hint: Consider the edge weights carefully before selecting.

Challenge 2 Hard

Construct an acyclic graph with 8 vertices and demonstrate the unique path property between any two vertices.

💡 Hint: Draw out the graph and label the paths clearly.
