(a) Explain the difference between a Hamiltonian cycle and an Euler cycle.
(b) Find the maximum number of comparisons to be made to find any record
in a binary search tree which holds 5000 records.
(c) Use Prim's algorithm starting at node A to compute the Minimum Spanning
Tree (MST) of the following weighted graph. In particular, write down the
edges of the MST in the order in which Prim's algorithm adds them to the
MST. Use the format (node 1, node 2 ) to denote an edge. Find the cost
of this MST.
