b. Mergesort
c. Binary
d. All of the options
a. Quicksort
b. Mergesort
c. Binary
d. All of the options
Expert's answer
Answer: d. All of the options
Many useful algorithms arerecursive in structure, they makes a recursive call to itself until a base (or
boundary) condition of a problem is not reached. These algorithms closely
follow the divide-and-conquer approach. Applications of divide-and-conquerstrategy are Binary search, Quick sort,Merge sort, multiplication of two n-bit
numbers and V. Strassen‘s matrix multiplications.
