Breadth First Search $$(BFS)$$ is started on a binary tree beginning from the root vertex. There is a vertex $$t$$ at a distance four from the root. If t is the $$n$$-th vertex in this $$BFS$$ traversal, then the maximum possible value of $$n$$ is ___________.

$$N$$ items are stored in a sorted doubly linked list. For a $$delete$$ operation, a pointer is provided to the record to be deleted. For a $$decrease$$-$$key$$ operation, a pointer is provided to the record on which the operation is to be performed.

An algorithm performs the following operations on the list in this order:
$$\Theta \left( N \right),\,\,delete,\,\,O\left( {\log N} \right)\,insert,\,$$ $$\,O\left( {\log N} \right)\,fund, and $$ $$\Theta \left( N \right)\,$$ $$decrease$$-$$key.$$ What is the time complexity of all these operations put together?

Suppose a database schedule $$S$$ involves transactions $${T_1},\,...,\,{T_n}.$$ Construct the precedence graph of $$S$$ with vertices representing the transactions and edges representing the conflicts. If $$S$$ is serializable, which one of the following orderings of the vertices of the precedence graph is guaranteed to yield a serial schedule?

Consider the following database schedule with two transactions, T₁ and T₂

 S = r2(X); r1(X); r2(Y); w1(X); r1(Y); w2(X); a1; a2

where r_i(Z) denotes a read operation by transaction T_i on a variable Z, w_i(Z) denotes a write operation by T_i on a variable Z and a_i denotes an abort by transaction T_i .

Which one of the following statements about the above schedule is TRUE?
