Question 1

Given a directed graph with specific edge capacities, use the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm to determine the maximum flow.

💡 Hint: Keep track of the residual graph as you progress through augmentations.

Question 2

Explain how changing the capacity of an edge affects the maximum flow. Provide at least two scenarios.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to flow when key paths change.
