4. Floyd Warshall Algorithm used to solve the shortest path problem has a time complexity of __________
a) O(V*V)
b) O(V*V*V)
c) O(E*V)
d) O(E*E)
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The Algorithm uses Dynamic Programming and checks for every possible path.

5. All Graphs have unique representation on paper.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Same Graph may be drawn in different ways on paper.

6. Assuming value of every weight to be greater than 10, in which of the following cases the shortest path of a directed weighted graph from 2 vertices u and v will never change?
a) add all values by 10
b) subtract 10 from all the values
c) multiply all values by 10
d) in both the cases of multiplying and adding by 10
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: In case of addition or subtraction the shortest path may change because the number of edges between different paths may be different, while in case of multiplication path wont change.

7. What is the maximum possible number of edges in a directed graph with no self loops having 8 vertices?
a) 28
b) 64
c) 256
d) 56
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: If a graph has V vertices than every vertex can be connected to a possible of V-1 vertices.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define INF 1000000
int graph[V][V] = {   {0,   7,  INF, 4},
                      {INF, 0,   13, INF},
                      {INF, INF, 0,   12},
                      {INF, INF, INF, 0}
                  };
 
int distance[V][V], i, j, k;
 
for (i = 0; i < V; i++)
        for (j = 0; j < V; j++)
    	distance[i][j] = graph[i][j];
 
for (k = 0; k < V; k++)
	for (i = 0; i < V; i++)
        	for (j = 0; j < V; j++)
                {
            		if (distance[i][k] + distance[k][j] < distance[i][j])
                		distance[i][j] = distance[i][k] + distance[k][j];
 
                           return 0;
                }

a)

{            
    {0,   7,  INF, 4},
    {INF, 0,   13, INF},
    {INF, INF, 0,   12},
    {INF, INF, INF, 0}
};

b)

    {0,   7,  20, 24},
    {INF, 0,   13, 25},
    {INF, INF, 0,   12},
    {INF, INF, INF, 0}
};

c)

{ 
    {0,   INF,  20, 24},
    {INF, INF,   13, 25},
    {INF, INF, 0,   12},
    {INF, INF, INF, 0}
    {INF, 0,   13, 25},
    {INF, INF, 0,   12},
