(a) Use Prim's algorithm, starting from D, to find the cost of translating an instruction manual of 3000
words from D into the seven other languages (USE THE TABLE ABOVE).
(b) Draw your minimal spanning tree.
From the table we see that it costs 159 euros per 1000 words to translate from language E to G. A
manual is written in language E and needs to b translated into language G.
(c) Give a reason why:
(i) it might be decided not to translate directly from E to G.
(ii) it might be decided to translate directly.
