Questions and Answers

Answer : A

Explanation

In a min heap, parents always have lesser or equal values than that of their childs.

Q 2 - What data structure can be used to check if a syntax has balanced paranthesis ?

A - queue

B - tree

C - list

D - stack

Answer : D

Explanation

Stack uses LIFO method which is good for checking matching paranthesis.

Q 3 - A linked-list is a dynamic structure

A - true

B - false

Answer : A

Explanation

A linked-list is dynamic structure, it can shrink and expand as required by the program.

Q 4 - Which of the following searching techniques do not require the data to be in sorted form

A - Binary Search

B - Interpolation Search

C - Linear Search

D - All of the above

Answer : A

Explanation

Both binary and interpolation search requires data set to be in sorted form. Linear search can work even if the data is not sorted.

Q 5 - Which method can find if two vertices x & y have path between them?

A - Depth First Search

B - Breadth First Search

C - Both A & B

D - None A or B

Answer : C

Explanation

By using both BFS and DFS, a path between two vertices of a connected graph can be determined.

Q 6 - Time required to merge two sorted lists of size m and n, is

A - Ο(m | n)

B - Ο(m + n)

C - Ο(m log n)

D - Ο(n log m)

Answer : B

Explanation

The time required to merge two sorted list is Ο(m + n).

Q 7 - Index of arrays in C programming langauge starts from

A - 0

B - 1

C - either 0 or 1

D - undefined

Answer : A

Explanation

Arrays, in C, starts from 0 which is mapped to its base address.

Q 8 - Which of the following algorithm cannot be desiged without recursion −

A - Tower of Hanoi

B - Fibonacci Series

C - Tree Traversal

D - None of the above

Answer : D

Explanation

Every problem which can be solved using recursion can also be solved using iterations.

Q 9 - Re-balancing of AVL tree costs

A - Ο(1)

B - Ο(log n)

C - Ο(n)

D - Ο(n2)

Answer : B

Explanation

AVL rotations have complexity of Ο(log n)

Q 10 - In conversion from prefix to postfix using stack data-structure, if operators and operands are pushed and popped exactly once, then the run-time complexity is −

A - Ο(1)

B - Ο(n)

C - Ο(log n)

D - Ο(n2)

Answer : B

Explanation

Infix to postfix conversion using stack will have run time complexity of Ο(n).
