Suppose the values $10,-4,15,30,20,5,60,19$ are inserted in that order into an initially empty binary search tree. Let $T$ be the resulting binary search tree. The number of edges in the path from the node containing 19 to the root node of $T$ is ________ (Answer in integer)

A meld operation on two instances of a data structure combines them into one single instance of the same data structure. Consider the following data structures:

P: Unsorted doubly linked list with pointers to the head node and tail node of the list.

Q: Min-heap implemented using an array.

R: Binary Search Tree.

Which ONE of the following options gives the worst-case time complexities for meld operation on instances of size $n$ of these data structures?

Consider a stack data structure into which we can PUSH and POP records. Assume that each record pushed in the stack has a positive integer key and that all keys are distinct. We wish to augment the stack data structure with an $\mathrm{O}(1)$ time MIN operation that returns a pointer to the record with smallest key present in the stack

1. without deleting the corresponding record, and

2. without increasing the complexities of the standard stack operations.

Which one or more of the following approach(es) can achieve it?

Consider the following algorithm someAlgo that takes an undirected graph $G$ as input. someAlgo ( $G$ )

1. Let $v$ be any vertex in $G$. Run BFS on $G$ starting at $v$. Let $u$ be a vertex in $G$ at maximum distance from $v$ as given by the BFS.

2. Run BFS on $G$ again with $u$ as the starting vertex. Let $z$ be the vertex at maximum distance from $u$ as given by the BFS.

3. Output the distance between $u$ and $z$ in $G$.

The output of someAlgo( $T$ ) for the tree shown in the given figure is $\qquad$ . (Answer in integer)
