What is the range of β in finding the length of the longest path in a randomized binary search tree?
a) (-1, 0)                                
b) (1, 0)
c) (0, 5)                                 
d) (0, 1)

d

What is the expected number of leaves in a randomized binary search tree?
a) n + 1                                 
b) (n + 1)/3
c) (n + 1)/2                           
d) n + 3

b

Explanation: In a random mathematical model, the expected value of number of leaves in a randomized binary search tree is found to be exactly (n + 1)/3 using probability.


What is the probability of selecting a tree uniformly at random?
a) Equal to Catalan Number
b) Less Than Catalan Number
c) Greater than Catalan Number
d) Reciprocal of Catalan Number

d

AA Trees are implemented using?
a) Colors                                               
b) Levels
c) Node size                         
d) Heaps

b

Explanation: AA Trees are implemented using levels instead of colors to overcome the disadvantages of Red-Black trees.


Which of the following is the correct definition for a horizontal link?
a) connection between node and a child of equal levels
b) connection between two nodes
c) connection between two child nodes
d) connection between root node and leaf node

a

Explanation: A horizontal link is a connection between a node and a child of equal levels.


How will you remove a left horizontal link in an AA-tree?
a) by performing right rotation
b) by performing left rotation
c) by deleting both the elements
d) by inserting a new element

a

Explanation: A left horizontal link is removed by right rotation. A right horizontal link is removed by left rotation.
