Let P be an array containing n integers. Let t be the lowest upper bound on the number of comparisons of the array elements, required to find the minimum and maximum values in an arbitrary of n elements. Which one of the following choices is correct?

Define R_n to be the maximum amount earned by cutting a rod of length n meters into one or more pieces of integer length and selling them. For i > 0, let p[i] denotes the selling price of a rod whose length is i meters. Consider the array of prices:

p[1] = 1, p[2] = 5, p[3] = 8, p[4] = 9, p[5] = 10, p[6] = 17, p[7] = 18

Which of the following statements is/are correct about R₇?

Consider the following C functions in which size is the number of elements in the array E:

int MyX(int *E, unsigned int size){
 int Y = 0;
 int Z;
 int i,j,k;
 for(i = 0; i < size; i++)
       Y = Y + E[i];
 for(i = 0; i < size; i++)
   for(j = i; j < size; j++){
     Z = 0;
     for(k = i; k <= j; k++)
        Z = Z + E[k];
     if(Z > Y)
        Y = X;
   }
   return Y;
}

The value returned by the function MyX is the

Two matrices M₁ and M₂ are to be stored in arrays A and B respectively. Each array can be stored either in row-major or column-major order in contiguous memory locations. The time complexity of an algorithm to compute M₁$$\times$$ M₂ will be
