E.None of the above
Question 20
In each step of insertion sort algorithm, a new elemennt has to be inserted into an already sorted subarry. Instead of using sequential search to determine the location of new element which takes O(n) time( Which makes the overall cpmplexity O(n^2) ), We can use bunary search since the subarray is sorted, which will take O(logn) time. By using this techinue, we can reduce the complexity of insertion sort from O(n^2) to
A. O(nlogn)
B. O(n)
C. O(logn)
D. O(n^2)
E. O(1)
Question 21
Cossider the following procedure: f(n)
for i=1 to n dp
j=n while j>i do
j=j-1
end while end for
Assume the above procedure are only an integer n>0; What is the time complexity in n for the procedure above: A.O(nlogn)
B.O(n)
C. O(n^2)
D. O(N^3)
E. O(1) Question 22
The worst case time complexity of finding 5th smallest number in sa list of 50000 randomly chosen numbers.
A. O(1)
B. O(n)
C. O(logn)
D. O(n^2)
E. O(nlogn)
Question 23
Consider the problem of sorting (in ascending order ) of an array of numbers, each number being the range(50,000 5000,000). What sorting algorithm is the best choice for the above problem. What is the best case time complexity of sorting achievable for this problem?
A. Merge sort
B Insertion Sort
C. Quick Sort
D. Counting sort
E. Bubble SOrt
Question 24
Two matrices M1 And M2 are to be stored in an Array A and b respectively. Each Array can be stored either in row major r column major order in contiguous memory locations. The time complexity to compute M1*M2 (Matrix Multipication) will be
A. Best if A is in row-major and B is in Column Major Order.
B. Best if both are in row major
C. Best if both are in column major
D. Independent of the storage scheme.
E. None of the above
Question 25
An large array[]1…n] with N slots is filled only up to positions n for the n very less than N. To start with we do not know n. To locate an empty slot, we check A[j] for j=2^[2^i]
in step i. What is the fewest number of steps in which we are guaranteed to find an empty slot?
A. O(n)
B. O(log n)
C. O(logN)
D. O(loglog n)
E. O(loglogN)
