Questions and Answers

Answer : B

Explanation

At maximum, a complete graph can have nn - 1 spanning trees.

Q 2 - What data structure is used for breadth first traversal of a graph?

A - queue

B - stack

C - list

D - none of the above

Answer : A

Explanation

Queue is used for breadth first traversal whereas stack is used for depth first traversal.

Q 3 - The following formular is of

left_subtree (keys)  ≤  node (key)  ≤  right_subtree (keys)

A - Bianry Tree

B - Complete Binary Tree

C - Binary Search Tree

D - All of the above

Answer : C

Explanation

A binary search tree (BST) is a tree in which all nodes follows the below mentioned properties −

  • The left sub-tree of a node has key less than or equal to its parent node's key.

  • The right sub-tree of a node has key greater than or equal to its parent node's key.

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 of the following has search effeciency of Ο(1) −

A - Tree

B - Heap

C - Hash Table

D - Linked-List

Answer : C

Explanation

A simple hash table has the Ω(1) efficiency.

Q 6 - The number of binary trees with 3 nodes which when traversed in post order gives the sequence A,B,C is ?

A - 3

B - 4

C - 5

D - 6

Answer : C

Explanation

Five binary trees (of 3 nodes) are possible.

Q 7 - Which of the following is not possible with an array in C programming langauge −

A - Declaration

B - Definition

C - Dynamic Allocation

D - Array of strings

Answer : C

Explanation

Array in C are static and cannot be shrinked or expanded in run-time.

Q 8 - In C programming, when we remove an item from bottom of the stack, then −

A - The stack will fall down.

B - Stack will rearranged items.

C - It will convert to LIFO

D - This operation is not allowed.

Answer : B

Explanation

Stack can only be accessed from top of it.

Q 9 - Access time of a binary search tree may go worse in terms of time complexity upto

A - Ο(n2)

B - Ο(n log n)

C - Ο(n)

D - Ο(1)

Answer : C

Explanation

At maximum, BST may need to search all n values in the tree in order to access an element, hence, Ο(n).

Answer : B

Explanation

A sorting algorithm is said to be adaptive, if it takes advantage of already 'sorted' elements in the list that is to be sorted.
