Question 1

What distinguishes a maximum matching from a maximal matching?

Maximum matching can have more edges.
Maximum matching is the largest possible matching.
Maximal matching must have at least 5 edges.
All of the above.

💡 Hint: Think about sizes and limitations of the matchings.

Question 2

True or False: Every maximum matching is also a maximal matching.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider if you can add more edges to maximum matching.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a bipartite graph with 3 employees (A, B, C) and 4 tasks (1, 2, 3, 4). If A can do 1, 2; B can do 1, 3; C can do 2, 4, demonstrate if a complete matching is possible.

💡 Hint: Think about how many unique tasks are left.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a bipartite graph with 5 vertices in each set and no missing edges, find out if it's possible to have a complete matching. Justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Visualize potential connections.
