The graph shown below has 8 edges with distinct integer edge weights. The minimum spanning tree (MST) is of weight 36 and contains the edges: {(A, C), (B, C), (B, E), (E, F), (D, F)}. The edge weights of only those edges which are in the MST are given in the figure shown below. The minimum possible sum of weights of all 8 edges of this graph is ___________.

Consider the following C function.

int fun1 (int n) { 
     int i, j, k, p, q = 0; 
     for (i = 1; i < n; ++i) 
     {
        p = 0; 
       for (j = n; j > 1; j = j/2) 
           ++p;  
       for (k = 1; k < p; k = k * 2) 
           ++q;
     } 
     return q;
}

Which one of the following most closely approximates the return value of the function fun1?

An algorithm performs $${\left( {\log N} \right)^{1/2}}$$ find operations, N insert operations, $${\left( {\log N} \right)^{1/2}}$$ delete operations, and $${\left( {\log N} \right)^{1/2}}$$decrease-key operations on a set of data items with keys drawn from a linearly ordered set. For a delete operation, a pointer is provided to the record that must be deleted. For the decrease-key operation, a pointer is provided to the record that has its key decreased. Which one of the following data structures is the most suited for the algorithm to use, if the goal is to achieve the best total asymptotic complexity considering all the operations?
