Question No: 27 ( Marks: 2 )
Give the difference between strict and complete binary tree.
Ans:
A tree is a strictly binary tree if its each leaf node has non-empty left and right sub trees, and
If there are left and right sub-trees for each node in a binary tree is known as complete binary tree.
Question No: 28 ( Marks: 2 )
A complete binary tree can be stored in an array. While storing the tree in an array
we leave the first position (0th index )of the array empty. Why?
Ans
Because we need a pointer in an array to point a position of node of tree. parent node and the children nodes. In case of having a node with left and right children, stored at position i in the array, the left 2i and the right child will be at 2i+1 position. If the value of i 2, the parent will be at position 2 and the left child will be at position 2i i.e. 4 .The right child will be at position 2i+1 i.e. 5. we have not started the 0th position. It is simply due to the fact if the position is 0, 2i will also
become 0. So we will start from the 1st position, ignoring the 0th.

Question No: 35 ( Marks: 5 )
Explain the following terms:
Collision
Linear Probing
Quadratic Probing
Ans:
Collision:
it takes place when two or more keys (data items) produce the same index.
Linear Probing
when there is a collision, some other location in the array is found. This is known as linear probing. In linear probing, at the time of collisions, we add one to the index and check that location. If it is also not empty, we add 2 and check that position. Suppose we keep on incrementing the array index and reach at the end of the table. We were unable to find the space and reached the last location of the array.
Quadratic Probing
In the quadratic probing when a collision happens we try to find the empty location at
index + 12. If it is filled then we add 22 and so on.
Quadratic probing uses different formula:
Use F(i) = i2 (square of i) to resolve collisions
If hash function resolves to H and a search in cell H is inconclusive, try
H + 12, H + 22, H + 32

Question No: 37 ( Marks: 3 )
Suppose that we have implemented a priority queue by storing the items in a heap. We are now executing a reheapification downward and the out-of-place node has priority of 42. The node’s parent has a priority of 72, the left child has priority 52 and the node’s right child has priority 62. Which statement best describes the status of the reheapification.
A. The reheapification is done.
B. The next step will swap the out-of-place node with its parent.
C. The next step will swap the out-of-place node with its left child.
D. The next step will swap the out-of-place node with its right child.
E. None of these.
