Unit1 - Introduction To Data Structure

This document contains 19 multiple choice questions about data structures and sorting algorithms. It covers topics like divide and conquer algorithms like merge sort, priority queue sorting like selection sort, time complexities of sorting algorithms like insertion sort and merge sort, linear and binary search, and properties of different data structures. The answers provided identify merge sort as a divide and conquer algorithm, selection sort as a priority queue sorting, insertion sort as efficient for small n, and binary search as having logn time complexity.
