Which of the following are part of the divide and conquer strategy? Group of answer choices Divide the problem into two subproblems of size n/2 Solve the two subproblems recursively. Combine the two subproblems into an overall solution Try every possible solution on the subproblems

Step 1
The strategy typically involves breaking a problem down into smaller subproblems, solving those subproblems independently, and then combining their solutions to form a solution to the original problem. Show more…

'A divide and conquer algorithm X works in the following way: Given a problem instance of input size n. If n is less than then the algorithm solves the problem instance directly with a constant number of steps: If n is at least 4, algorithm X divides the given problem instance into exactly two smaller problem instances and solve them recursively: Furthermore, whenever algorithm X divides given problem instance of size n into smaller instances with sizes a and b, then a + b n and %n < a,b < n.'
