Answer: 15 and 1 Explanation: As 15 is less than 25 so there would be no violation and the node will remain at that position. So, leaf nodes with value 15 and 1 will be at the position in right sub tree.

Answer: 2 Explanation: As the root is deleted and node with value 100 is used as replaced one. There is a violation of property that root node must have value less than its children. So, there will be shuffling of node with value 100 with node of value 2. And thus 2 becomes root. And it will remain to be at root after all the possible operations. So, the value at root will be 2.

Compared to singly liked list which has only a 'next' pointer, doubly linked list requires extra space to store this extra pointer. Every insertion and deletion requires manipulation of two pointers, hence it takes a bit longer time.

59. Which of the following is false about a binary search tree? a) The left child is always lesser than its parent b) The right child is always greater than its parent c) The left and right sub-trees should also be binary search trees d) None of the mentioned
