Q:

The speed of a boat when travelling downstream is 32 km/h, whereas when travelling upstream it is 28 km/h. What is the speed of the boat in still water?

A) 27 km/h B) 29 km/h
C) 31 km/h D) Cannot be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

Ans.  Suppose the speed of boat in still water is x km/h and speed of stream is y km/h

Speedof boat in downstream = (x + y) km/h x+ y = 32 …(i) 

Speed of boat in upstream = (x – y) km/h

x – y = 28 …(ii)

Add. Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get 2x = 60

x = 30 km/h

Write a c program for quick sort.

Answer

#include<stdio.h>

void quicksort(int [10],int,int);

int main(){
  int x[20],size,i;

  printf("Enter size of the array: ");
  scanf("%d",&size);

  printf("Enter %d elements: ",size);
  for(i=0;i<size;i++)
    scanf("%d",&x[i]);

  quicksort(x,0,size-1);

  printf("Sorted elements: ");
  for(i=0;i<size;i++)
    printf(" %d",x[i]);

  return 0;
}

void quicksort(int x[10],int first,int last){
    int pivot,j,temp,i;

     if(first<last){
         pivot=first;
         i=first;
         j=last;

         while(i<j){
             while(x[i]<=x[pivot]&&i<last)
                 i++;
             while(x[j]>x[pivot])
                 j--;
             if(i<j){
                 temp=x[i];
                  x[i]=x[j];
                  x[j]=temp;
             }
         }

         temp=x[pivot];
         x[pivot]=x[j];
         x[j]=temp;
         quicksort(x,first,j-1);
         quicksort(x,j+1,last);

    }
}

Output:
Enter size of the array: 5
Enter 5 elements: 3 8 0 1 2
Sorted elements: 0 1 2 3 8
