Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Minimum Cost Spanning Tree using Kruskal’s Algorithm**
**Graph Description:**
The graph consists of five vertices labeled as A, B, C, D, and E. The edges between these vertices are labeled with their respective weights as follows:
- A to B: 31
- A to C: 40
- A to D: 20
- A to E: 15
- B to C: 33
- B to D: 4
- B to E: 10
- C to D: 43
- C to E: 37
- D to E: 39
**Problem Statement:**
Find the minimum cost spanning tree on the graph above using Kruskal's algorithm. What is the total cost of the tree?
**Solution:**
1. **List all edges in ascending order based on their weights:**
- B to D: 4
- B to E: 10
- A to E: 15
- A to D: 20
- A to B: 31
- B to C: 33
- A to C: 40
- D to E: 39
- A to C: 40
- C to D: 43
2. **Select the smallest weight edge that does not form a cycle:**
- B to D: 4
- B to E: 10
- A to E: 15
- A to D: 20
3. **Total minimum cost calculation:**
- Total cost = 4 (B to D) + 10 (B to E) + 15 (A to E) + 20 (A to D)
- Total cost = 49
The minimum cost spanning tree using Kruskal's algorithm has a total cost of **49**.
