The postorder traversal of a binary tree is 8, 9, 6, 7, 4, 5, 2, 3, 1. The inorder traversal of the same tree is 8, 6, 9, 4, 7, 2, 5, 1, 3. The height of a tree is the length of the longest path from the root to any leaf. The height of the binary tree above is ________ .

Note –This was Numerical Type question.
(A) 2
(B) 3
(C) 4
(D) 5


Answer: (C)

Explanation: Given, post-order – 8, 9, 6, 7, 4, 5, 2, 3, 1
and in-order – 8, 6, 9, 4, 7, 2, 5, 1, 3

Construct a binary tree from postorder and inorder traversal :

The height of the binary tree above is 4.
