• In the worst...read more

Use a binary search approach to find the heavier ball among 'n' balls using a weighing balance.

• Divide the 'n' balls into two equal groups and weigh them on the balance.

• If one group is heavier, repeat the process with that group.

• If both groups weigh the same, the heavier ball is among the remaining unweighed balls.

• Continue dividing and weighing until the heavier ball is found.
