Let $A$ be an array containing integer values. The distance of $A$ is defined as the minimum number of elements in $A$ that must be replaced with another integer so that the resulting array is sorted in non-decreasing order. The distance of the array [2, 5, 3, 1, 4, 2, 6] is __________

Consider the following array.

$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm I}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Quicksort runs in $$\Theta \left( {{n^2}} \right)$$ time
$$\,\,\,\,\,{\rm I}{\rm I}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Bubblesort runs in $$\Theta \left( {{n^2}} \right)$$ time
$$\,\,\,{\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I}.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Mergesort runs in $$\Theta \left( n \right)$$ time
$$\,\,\,{\rm I}V.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Insertion sort runs in $$\Theta \left( n \right)$$ time

$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$$$〈89, 19, 50, 17, 12, 15, 2, 5, 7, 11, 6, 9, 100〉$$

Give the correct matching for the following pairs:

Group - 1

Group - 2

Now consider that a value 35 is inserted into this heap. After insertion, the new heap is

int partition(int a[], int n);

int kth_smallest (int a[], int n, int k)
{
    int left_end = partition (a, n);
    if (left_end+1==k) {
        return a[left_end];
    }
    if (left_end+1 > k) {
        return kth_smallest (___________);
    } else {
        return kth_smallest (___________);   
    }
}

A 3-ary max heap is like a binary max heap, but instead of 2 children, nodes have 3 children. A 3-ary heap can be represented by an array as follows: The root is stored in the first location, a[0], nodes in the next level, from left to right, is stored from a[1] to a[3]. The nodes from the second level of the tree from left to right are stored from a[4] location onward. An item x can be inserted into a 3-ary heap containing n items by placing x in the location a[n] and pushing it up the tree to satisfy the heap property.

Suppose the elements 7, 2, 10 and 4 are inserted, in that order, into the valid 3- ary max heap found in the previous question. Which one of the following is the sequence of items in the array representing the resultant heap?
