Answered: GATE CSE 2014 Set 3 | Question: 39

I have found an alternative solution, with ref to Coreman textbook exercise, Q.12.2-8. If you can prove this (solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40561235/time-complexity-of-finding-k-successors-in-bst) Then we know that since there are m nodes having value between L and H. We can also say that ‘m’ inorder successors of node with value ‘L’. So searching for L : O(log n) ‘m’ inorder successors : O(m+h) = O(m + log n) So overall time complexity : O(m + log n). a=1,b=1.c=1,d=0 Answer : 110. [...]

https://cs.stackexchange.com/q/138479/118790 Check this out and the concept said in Peter Linz. I guess it is much harder to say that whether a LANGUAGE is $LL(k)$ or not while the question is much easier to answer if the grammar is given. See the $Example$ $7.11$ in Peter Linz, the language from the arguments given by other answers to the GATE question would make it look that the language of the grammar in Example 7.11 is not LL(k) for any $k$ but then suddenly the author comes up with a bit difficult grammar and proves that the problem with the grammar in… [...]

In this type of question, we join the missing piece, then a rectangle should be formed. In the question figure, the $L$ shape part of the shape doesn’t fit in options B and D. In option C, the size of the $U$ shape part is not the same as the question figure. So, the correct answer is $(A).$ [...]

Ans is option (D) The minute covers $360^{\circ}$ in $60$ minutes. Hence, it will cover $\frac{360^{\circ}\times 35}{60}=210^{\circ}$ in $35$ minutes. Now, area of a sector with radius $r$ units and $\theta$ angle subtended at the centre ,is : $\frac{1}{2}\times r^{2}\times \theta$ units ($\theta$ in radian) . So, $210^{\circ}=210^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ radians $=\frac{11}{3}$ radians $\therefore$ Area of the sector: $\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times \frac{11}{3}=183.33$ cm$^{2}$ [...]

Ans is option (D) Let the original price be $x$ Rs. Price after $p\%$ increase: $x(1+\frac{p}{100})$ Rs. Price after $p\%$ decrease: $x(1+\frac{p}{100})-[\frac{p}{100}\times x(1+\frac{p}{100})]=1$ (given in question) $\therefore$ $x(1+\frac{p}{100})(1-\frac{p}{100})=1$ $\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{10000}{10000-p^{2}}$ Rs.

$\frac{n^{2}+7n+12}{n^{2}-n-12} = \frac{n^{2}+3n+4n+12}{n^{2}+3n-4n-12}$ $= \frac{n(n+3)+4(n+3)}{n(n+3)-4(n+3)}$ $= \frac{(n+3)(n+4)}{(n+3)(n-4)} = \frac{(n+4)}{(n-4)}$ $\therefore \frac{n^{2}+7n+12}{n^{2}-n-12} = \frac{(n+4)}{(n-4)}$ Now let’s substitute $n$ values given in options $ n = 8 $ $\frac{(n+4)}{(n-4)} = \frac{(8+4)}{(8-4)} =\frac{(12)}{(4)} = 3$ (Positive Integer) $ n = 12 $ $\frac{(n+4)}{(n-4)} = \frac{(12+4)}{(12-4)} =\frac{(16)}{(8)} = 2$ (Positive Integer) $ n = 16 $ $\frac{(n+4)}{(n-4)} = \frac{(16+4)}{(16-4)} =\frac{(20)}{(12)} \sim 1.67$ (Not an integer) $ n = 6 $ $\frac{(n+4)}{(n-4)} = \frac{(6+4)}{(6-4)} =\frac{(10)}{(2)} = 5$ (Positive Integer) Options A, B, D have produced the result as a positive integer.
