Algorithms | Sorting | Question 18

Consider the Quicksort algorithm. Suppose there is a procedure for finding a pivot element that splits the list into two sub-lists each of which contains at least one-fifth of the elements. Let T(n) be the number of comparisons required to sort n elements. Then

(A)

T(n) <= 2T(n/5) + n

(B)

T(n) <= T(n/5) + T(4n/5) + n

(C)

T(n) <= 2T(4n/5) + n

(D)

T(n) <= 2T(n/2) + n
