Given a tree with 'n' nodes and 'n-1' edges.
We are also given a set of 'n-1' weights .
We have to assign each weight to exactly one of the edges.
We have to assign it in a way such that the sum of all nodes in a tree is minimized.
Value of a node = maximum weight of all of its adjacent edges.
Example:- Edges:- (1--2), (2--3)
Weights:-{1,2}
Solution : — Assigning weight '2' to edge '1--2' and weight '1' to edge '2--3' , we get,
value of node '1' : — 2
value of node '2' : — 2
value of node '3' : — 1
Total minimum sum possible : — (2+2+1)=5 .
