The weights of edges in a graph are shown in the table above. Find the minimum cost spanning tree on the graph above using Kruskal's algorithm. What is the total cost of the tree?
Kruskal Algorithm
This algorithm first sorts all the edges according to weight in non-decreasing order.
Then it picks edge one by one based on sorted order. If adding edge to tree creates cycle discard it otherwise add it.
Total vertices in Graph = 6
Number of edges in Minimum Spanning tree = Number of vertices - 1 = 5
Weight of Edged between two vertices from the matrix
A and B = 39
A and C = 8
A and D = 40
A and E = 15
A and F = 20
B and C = 1
B and D = 23
B and E = 9
B and F = 7
C and D = 28
C and E = 35
C and F = 42
D and E = 38
D and F = 31
E and F = 25
Let's sort the edges based on their weight in non-decreasing order.
Weight | Source | Destination |
1 | B | C |
7 | B | F |
8 | A | C |
9 | B | E |
15 | A | E |
20 | A | F |
23 | B | D |
25 | E | F |
28 | C | D |
31 | D | F |
35 | C | E |
38 | D | E |
39 | A | B |
40 | A | D |
42 | C | F |
Now, Pick edges one by one from sorted list
Pick entry B-C. There is no cycle formed. We will include this edge.
Pick entry B-F. There is no cycle formed. We will include this edge
Pick entry A-C. There is no cycle formed. We will include this edge
Pick entry B-E. There is no cycle formed. We will include this edge
Pick entry A-E. This will form cycle. We will not include this edge.
Pick entry A-F. This will form cycle. We will not include this edge.
Pick entry B-D. There is no cycle formed. We will include this edge
All vertices are connected now so we have got minimum spanning tree with weight = 1+7+8+9+23 = 48
