Suppose we have an O(n) time algorithm that finds the median of an unsorted array. Now consider a QuickSort implementation where we first find the median using the above algorithm, then use the median as the pivot. What will be the worst-case time complexity of this modified QuickSort? Which one is faster for a data set of 1000 elements to be sorted? A) O(n^2 Logn) B) O(n^2) C) O(n Logn Logn) D) O(nLogn)

Which is the right answer to the following? By using some sorting technique, an array of 8 elements was sorted and the sorting algorithm found the largest number first. The elements of the array are in the order: 2 4 5 7 8 1 3 6 after 4 iterations. Based on above condition(s) which statement would be valid? Pick ONE option: Algorithm would be neither merge sort nor insertion sort. Algorithm would be insertion sort not merge sort. Algorithm would be merge sort not insertion sort. Algorithm is selection sort. None
