solve. How does the Greedy Algorithm efficiently address this problem?
2. Describe the Greedy Strategy applied to solve the Fractional Knapsack problem. What
criteria guide the selection and fractioning of items?
3. Discuss the presence of optimal substructure in the Fractional Knapsack problem. How
does the Greedy Strategy exploit this property for obtaining the optimal solution?
4. Contrast the Fractional Knapsack problem with the 0/1 Knapsack problem. How does the
Greedy Algorithm differ in its application for these two problems?

Fractional Knapsack problem. How does complexity vary with the number of items and
the knapsack's capacity?
6. Discuss the performance and scalability of the Greedy Algorithm when applied to large
inputs in the Fractional Knapsack problem. How does it handle a larger number of items
efficiently?
7. Explain how the Greedy Algorithm selects the optimal set of items and fractions to
maximize the knapsack value in the Fractional Knapsack problem.
8. Discuss the significance of adaptive and non-adaptive strategies in the Greedy Algorithm
approach for the Fractional Knapsack problem. Provide examples illustrating their usage.
9. How does the Greedy Algorithm approach manage negative values or weights of items in
the Fractional Knapsack problem? Discuss potential implications and adaptations
required.

15. How does the Greedy Algorithm cope with scenarios where the item value-to-weight
ratio varies significantly in the Fractional Knapsack problem?
