The following method designed from a problem-solving strategy has been proposed for finding a minimum spanning tree (MST) in a connected weighted graph G: (i) Randomly divide the vertices in the graph into two subsets to form two connected weighted subgraphs with equal number of vertices or differing by at most one. Each subgraph contains all the edges whose vertices both belong to the subgraph's vertex set. (ii) Find a MST for each subgraph using Kruskal's algorithm. (iii) Connect the two MSTS by choosing an edge with minimum wight amongst those edges connecting them. Use the proposed method to find al MST in the connected weighted graph shown in Figure 2. Verify the correctness of your answer and draw a conclusion on the correctness of the proposed method from your verification,

(a) Use Kruskal’s algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree. Your answer should include a complete list of the edges, indicating which edges you take for your tree and which you reject in the course of running the algorithm, as well as the total cost. (b) Use Prim’s algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree. Show how the cost and parent lists change every iteration and report the final tree and its total cost. (c) Are they the same tree? If not, argue why they are not equal.
