Merge Sort

1. Sort the following array using Merge Sort: Array = [38, 27, 43, 3, 9, 82, 10]. Perform the

step-by-step merge process and provide the sorted array.

2. Calculate the number of comparisons made by Merge Sort for the array of size 7: Array = [12, 11,

13, 5, 6, 7]

3. Divide the array using Merge Sort and show the intermediate results: Array = [2, 8, 1, 7, 6, 3, 5, 4]

4. Merge two sorted arrays using the merge step of Merge Sort: Array 1 = [3, 7, 12, 18], Array 2 = [4,

10, 15, 19]

5. How many sub-arrays will be created at the first division of the array: Array = [19, 22, 3, 14, 5, 6,

28, 8]

Quick Sort
1. Sort the following array using Quick Sort (first element as the pivot): Array = [10, 80, 30, 90, 40,

50, 70]. Perform step-by-step partitioning and sorting.

2. Using Quick Sort, show the partitioning for the array with the last element as pivot: Array = [15, 3,

12, 10, 25, 7, 20]

3. Choose the median element as pivot and sort the array using Quick Sort: Array = [45, 67, 23, 89,

34, 15, 10, 2]

4. Perform Quick Sort on this array and count the number of swaps: Array = [29, 10, 14, 37, 13]

5. Find the pivot for the partitioning in the Quick Sort process and show the resulting arrays: Array =

[3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 4]

Binary Search
1. Perform Binary Search to find the position of the number 42 in the sorted array: Array = [4, 8, 15,

16, 23, 42, 50]

2. What are the steps taken by Binary Search to find the number 27 in the array: Array = [2, 5, 12,

17, 25, 27, 33, 39]

3. Apply Binary Search on a sorted array to find 56: Array = [10, 22, 35, 48, 56, 64, 79, 83]
4. How many comparisons are made in Binary Search to find 13 in this array: Array = [1, 3, 5, 9, 13,

18, 20, 25]

5. Find the mid-point during each step of Binary Search to locate 89: Array = [12, 24, 37, 45, 58, 65,

72, 89]

Greedy Method
1. Apply a greedy algorithm to maximize profit for the following set of jobs: Jobs: [{Job 1: Profit =

100, Deadline = 2}, {Job 2: Profit = 19, Deadline = 1}, {Job 3: Profit = 27, Deadline = 2}, {Job 4:

Profit = 25, Deadline = 1}, {Job 5: Profit = 15, Deadline = 3}]

2. Select activities that maximize the number of non-overlapping intervals (Activity Selection

Problem): Activities: {(1, 3), (2, 5), (4, 6), (5, 8), (7, 9)}

3. Use a greedy approach to find the minimum number of coins required to make change for 87

units. Available denominations: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50

4. Given a set of items with weights and values, find the maximum value that can fit into a knapsack

of capacity 10: Items = [{Weight = 2, Value = 20}, {Weight = 3, Value = 30}, {Weight = 4, Value =

40}, {Weight = 5, Value = 50}]

5. Apply the greedy algorithm to solve the fractional knapsack problem: Items = [{Weight = 2, Value

= 40}, {Weight = 3, Value = 50}, {Weight = 5, Value = 100}], Capacity = 6

Job Sequencing
1. Schedule the jobs to maximize profit based on their deadlines and profits: Jobs = [{Profit = 100,

Deadline = 2}, {Profit = 50, Deadline = 1}, {Profit = 200, Deadline = 2}, {Profit = 150, Deadline = 1}]

2. Arrange the following jobs and assign slots to maximize profit: Jobs = [{J1: Profit = 20, Deadline =

1}, {J2: Profit = 15, Deadline = 3}, {J3: Profit = 10, Deadline = 2}, {J4: Profit = 5, Deadline = 3}]

3. For the job list below, find the optimal job sequence to maximize profit: Jobs = [{J1: Profit = 35,

Deadline = 2}, {J2: Profit = 30, Deadline = 1}, {J3: Profit = 25, Deadline = 2}, {J4: Profit = 50,

Deadline = 1}]

4. Schedule jobs for maximum profit and show the steps: Jobs = [{Profit = 60, Deadline = 3}, {Profit
= 20, Deadline = 1}, {Profit = 40, Deadline = 2}, {Profit = 30, Deadline = 1}]

5. Perform job sequencing on this set of jobs and calculate total profit: Jobs = [{Profit = 120,

Deadline = 2}, {Profit = 90, Deadline = 3}, {Profit = 80, Deadline = 1}, {Profit = 70, Deadline = 2}]

Knapsack
1. Find the maximum profit that can be obtained for a knapsack with capacity 15 using the 0/1

knapsack problem: Items = [{Weight = 3, Value = 40}, {Weight = 5, Value = 70}, {Weight = 8, Value

= 100}]

2. Apply the fractional knapsack method to maximize profit with a capacity of 7: Items = [{Weight =

2, Value = 30}, {Weight = 4, Value = 50}, {Weight = 5, Value = 60}]

3. Solve the knapsack problem using dynamic programming for a knapsack capacity of 8: Items =

[{Weight = 2, Value = 20}, {Weight = 4, Value = 40}, {Weight = 6, Value = 60}]

4. Given a knapsack capacity of 50, find the items to include to maximize the value: Items = [{Weight

= 10, Value = 60}, {Weight = 20, Value = 100}, {Weight = 30, Value = 120}]

5. Use the knapsack algorithm to solve for maximum value with capacity 10: Items = [{Weight = 1,

Value = 10}, {Weight = 3, Value = 40}, {Weight = 4, Value = 50}, {Weight = 6, Value = 70}]
