You are given the postorder traversal, P, of a binary search tree on the n elements 1, 2,..........., n. You have to determine the unique binary search tree that has P as its postorder traversal. What is the time complexity of the most efficient algorithm for doing this?
A
O(Logn)
B
O(n)
C
O(nLogn)
D
none of the above, as the tree cannot be uniquely determined.

Consider a file of 16384 records. Each record is 32 bytes long and its key field is of size 6 bytes. The file is ordered on a non-key field, and the file organization is unspanned. The file is stored in a file system with block size 1024 bytes, and the size of a block pointer is 10 bytes. If the secondary index is built on the key field of the file, and a multi-level index scheme is used to store the secondary index, the number of first-level and second-level blocks in the multi-level index are respectively
A
8 and 0
B
128 and 6
C
256 and 4
D
512 and 5
