Programming Algorithms Quiz


The following paradigm can be used to find the solution of the problem in minimum time: Given a set of non-negative integer, and a value K, determine if there is a subset of the given set with sum equal to K:
A. Divide and Conquer
B. Dynamic Programming
C. Greedy Algorithm
D. Branch and Bound
Solution :
B) is correct.
Given problem is Subset-sum problem in which a set of non-negative integers, and a value sum is given, to determine if there is a subset of the given set with sum equal to given sum. With recursion technique, time complexity of the above problem is exponential. We can solve the problem in Pseudo-polynomial time using Dynamic programming.
