Design and Analysis of Algorithms-TCS-503

This document contains a paper for a B.Tech theory examination on Design and Analysis of Algorithms. It includes several questions to test students' knowledge of algorithms: 1) Solving a recurrence relation using the master method and defining stable sorts. 2) Proving properties of heapsort and mergesort, illustrating heapsort on an example array, and modifying quicksort to search for an item. 3) Describing applications of red-black trees, proving a property of binomial trees, and explaining disjoint-set data structures. 4) Questions related to dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, backtracking, B-trees, shortest paths, the travelling salesman problem, Floyd-Warshall algorithm
