For the above, the first item has weight 5 and value 10, the second item has weight 4 and value 40, and so on.
In this example, Bob should take the second and fourth item to maximize his value, which, in this case, is 90.
He cannot get more than 90 as his knapsack has a weight limit of 10.
In this example, Lhakpa should take the second and fourth item to maximize her value, which, in this case, is 90.
