Let G be a directed graph whose vertex set is the set of numbers from 1 to 100. There is an edge from a vertex i to a vertex j if and only if either j=i+1 or j=3i. The minimum number of edges in a path in G from vertex 1 to vertex 100 is _______.
Correct Answer: D
Question 658 Explanation:
Edge set consists of edges from i to j, using either
j = i +1
(or)
j = 3i
Second option will help us reach from 1 to 100 rapidly. The trick to solve this question is to think in the reverse way. Instead of finding a path from 1 to 100, try to find a path from 100 to 1.
So, the edge sequence with minimum number of edges is
1 → 3 → 9 → 10 → 11 → 33 → 99 → 100
which consists of 7 edges.
j = i +1
(or)
j = 3i
