Question

One strategy for solving a complex problem is to break the problem into a group of less complex problems and then find solutions to the smaller problems. The result is the solution of the complex problem. Give an example in which this strategy will work. Then give another example in which this strategy will not work

Answer 1

The strategy of solving a complex problem into smaller problems can be done wherein each problem can be divided into parts and solved and then you can reach to the final conclusion. For example: Algorithms. In case of Algorithms, Divide and Conquer is applied that reduce is each problem into sub-problem and then solved.

This strategy is used where problems are complex and the cases where problems are simple and can be directly solved in such cases the problem can be directly solved. Or the problems which are so interconnected that they cannot be separated. For example in cases of analytical problems which not in all cases cannot be separated and solved.
