Q2. Minimum Spanning tree Implementation of MST
Ans. 
Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is a tree that connects all vertices in a graph with minimum total edge weight.
• MST can be found using Prim's algorithm or Kruskal's algorithm.

• Prim's algorithm starts with a single vertex and adds the closest vertex to the tree until all vertices are included.

• Kruskal's algorithm starts with the edges with the lowest weight and adds them to the tree as long as they don't create a cycle.

• MST has...read more

Q2. Find a subset of an array having a target sum.
Ans. 
Given an array of strings, find a subset that adds up to a target sum.
• Use a recursive approach to explore all possible subsets

• Start with an empty subset and add elements one by one

• Keep track of the current sum and check if it matches the target sum

• If the sum exceeds the target, backtrack and remove elements

• Return the subset if found, otherwise return an empty subset
