Answers



251.
Answer : (c)
Reason:  As using ‘while loop’ we have removed all the elements. Queue becomes empty.
252.
Answer : (e)
Reason:  Once we convert it all the other options are wrong except E
253.
Answer : (d)
Reason:  As in circular queue all the other options are not correct to identify the location pointed by front pointer where the recent deletion is made.
254.
Answer : (b)
Reason:  As we are comparing the data of both of the nodes, we have to check for the data, a member of nodes p, q. Also we have to use relational operator( ==).
255.
Answer : (c)
Reason:  As there is no any syntax to declare the lower bound of the array except the size of the array which can be declared.
256.
Answer : (a)
Reason:  As in all the cases the time taken by sequential( linear) search is O(n) which is greater than the time taken by binary search which is O(log n).
257.
Answer : (d)
Reason:  As the other data structures are not suitable to store the elements from both of the ends simultaneously.
258.
Answer : (e)
Reason:  As the Doubly linked list contains two pointers to keep track the address of both the previous and next nodes.
259.
Answer : (c)
Reason:  All the other options are meaning less. Because for run-time analysis, the number of operations and memory is not considered, but the unit time(i.e., seconds)
260.
Answer : (d)
Reason:  Because this the summation of the first ‘n’ numbers, that is n(n+1)/2   => ( n2+n)/2  => then by ignoring the lower order terms and the constants this becomes n2.
