Question 1: [CLO - 2] [4+5+3+3+3+(4+2) = 24 Marks]

For each part in this question, you are required to analyze the given functions T(n) and
answer the given question.

a) For the following function f(n), find a function g(n), such that f(n) = θ (g(n))
[Hint: For part a you have to provide the constants 𝑛 , 𝑐 , 𝑐 ]

𝑻(𝒏) = (𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎)𝟐𝒏 + 𝟒𝒏

𝒏 𝟒𝒏
b) Solve the recurrence relation 𝑻(𝒏) = 𝑻 +𝑻 + 𝒏, where 𝑇(1) = 1
𝟓 𝟓

[For part b you are required to use recursion tree method]

𝒏
c) Solve the recurrence relation 𝑻(𝒏) = 𝟐𝟓𝑻 + 𝒏𝟐 , where 𝑇(1) = 1
𝟓

[For part c you can use any method]

f) Consider the following sorting algorithm:
MySort(A, 1, 10)
MergeSort(A, 1, 7)
MergeSort(A, x, y)
MergeSort(A, 1, 7)

i. What should be the minimum value of 𝑦 − 𝑥 + 1, so that MySort(A, 1, 10) correctly


sorts the 100 elements array given to it as input.
ii. Based on your answer (for the minimum value of 𝑦 − 𝑥 + 1), what are exact values of
𝑥 and 𝑦.

Question 2: [CLO - 1] [12 Marks]

Let A[1..n] be an array of n distinct numbers. If 𝑖 < 𝑗 and 𝐴[𝑖] < 𝐴[𝑗] then the pair (𝑖, 𝑗) is
called a compatibility of A. Design an algorithm that determines the number of
compatibilities in any permutation on n elements in O(𝑛 log 𝑛) worst case time. (Hint:
Modify merge sort.)
