/// We can get the min cut using the max-flow min-cut theorm, which states that the max flow in a n/w = min-cut of the network.
/// Steps:
/// 1. Run FordFulkerson algo to get the residual graph.
/// 2. Find the set of vertices that can be reached from the source vertex.
/// 3. Get all the edges from vertices in this set to the vertices which are not present in this set.
/// this will give all the edges of the min cut.

/// The running time of this algo is same as the ford fulkerson's max flow algo with edward karp optimization
