Choose the correct statement from the following.(a) branch and bound is more efficient than backtracking(b) branch and bound is not suitable where a greedy algorithm is not applicable(c) branch and bound divides a problem into at least 2 new restricted sub problems(d) backtracking divides a problem into at least 2 new restricted sub problemsI have been asked this question in final exam.My doubt stems from Graph Search in division Graph Search of Data Structures & Algorithms II

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) BRANCH and bound divides a problem into at least 2 new restricted sub problems

For EXPLANATION: Both BACKTRACKING as well as branch and bound are problem SOLVING ALGORITHMS. Branch and bound is less efficient than backtracking. Branch and bound divides a problem into at least 2 new restricted sub problems.
