B TECH
(SEM V) THEORY EXAMINATION 2018-19
DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF ALGORITHMS
Time: 3 Hours Total Marks: 70
Note: 1. Attempt all Sections. If require any missing data; then choose suitably.
2. Any special paper specific instruction.
SECTION A

1. Attempt all questions in brief. 2 x 7 = 14


a. Rank the following by growth rate:
n, 2lg √n, log n, log (logn), log2n, (lgn)lgn, 4, (3/2)n, n!
b. Prove that if n>=1, then for any n-key B-Tree of height h and minimum degree t >=2, h<=
log t ((n +1)/2).
c. Define principal of optimality. When and how dynamic programming is
applicable.
d. Explain application of graph coloring problem.
e. Compare adjacency matrix and linked Adjacency lists representation of a Graph with
suitable example/diagram.
f. What are approximation algorithms? What is meant by P (n) approximation algorithms?
g. What do you mean by stability of a sorting algorithm? Explain its application.
SECTION B

2. Attempt any three of the following: 7 x 3 = 21


a. Use a recursion tree to give an asymptotically tight solution to the recurrence
T(n) = T(αn) + T((1 - α)n) + cn, where α is a constant in the range 0 <α< 1 and
c> 0 is also a constant.

b. Define BNP, NP hard and NP Complete Problems. Prove that Travelling Salesman
Problem is NP-Complete.

c. Consider the weights and values of items listed below. Note that there is only one unit of
each item. The task is to pick a subset of these items such that their total weight is no
more than 11 Kgs and their total value is maximized. Moreover, no item may be split. The
total value of items picked by an optimal algorithm is denoted by Vopt. A greedy
algorithm sorts the items by their value-to-weight ratios in descending order and packs
them greedily, starting from the first item in the ordered list. The total value of items
picked by the greedy algorithm is denoted by Vgreedy. Find the value of Vopt − Vgreedy

Item I1 I2 I3 I4
W 10 7 4 2
V 60 28 20 24
d. Insert the following keys in a 2-3-4 B Tree:
40, 35, 22, 90, 12, 45, 58, 78, 67, 60 and then delete key 35 and 22 one after other.
e. Prove that if the weights on the edge of the connected undirected graph are distinct then
there is a unique Minimum Spanning Tree. Give an example in this regard. Also discuss
Prim’s Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithm in detail.
